Quick afternoon check in. off work today but doing that adulting thing... errands, getting the car looked at, junk like that. Not much fun either.

@Mandikay Hopefully the infection is getting better! More positive thoughts and energy sent!

Catch y'all later.

Thanks everyone for the well wishes. I go back to the hospital tomorrow morning for them to check it, as of right now it has spread out another 4-5 inches. I'm really really hoping that these antibiotics start working soon. Thi is crazy, I have 12 other tattoos and nothing like this has ever happened to me before. It's really starting to make me nervous.

I ain't a doc but what you have described sounds an awful lot like cellulitis - it is a type of blood poisoning and is very serious. That is what I had 14 years ago and when the doc seen it the first thing she did was to tell the nurse to get an antibiotic IV in me and to start the admission process. They would not even let me go home to get anything for my stay - I could have been back there in under an hour and they said 'no, you are not leaving the hospital'.
Proper antibiotics should have stopped the spread or at least greatly slowed it. If it's still spreading at that rate then those meds aren't doing much.
I highly recommend going back in right away and having other docs check it.

From a quick google
Cellulitis - Mayo Clinic
Cellulitis (sel-u-LIE-tis) is a common, potentially serious bacterial skin infection. Cellulitis appears as a swollen, red area of skin that feels hot and tender. It can spread rapidly to other parts of the body. Cellulitis isn't usually spread from person to person.

Skin on lower legs is most commonly affected, though cellulitis can occur anywhere on your body or face. Cellulitis might affect only your skin's surface. Or it might also affect tissues underlying your skin and can spread to your lymph nodes and bloodstream.

Left untreated, the spreading infection can rapidly turn life-threatening. It's important to seek immediate medical attention if cellulitis symptoms occur.

@Mandikay I would concur with going back to the ER now if you have not already. Didn't they same to come back right away if it worsened? Better safe than sorry as the adage goes - especially with your health.

Cellulitis is fairly common. I have known a number of people over the years that have had it. It can easily occur through a wide variety of methods - most common is through an open wound - even itty bitty ones. I had a friend that got it after he sprained an ankle - no open wounds. It's not serious as long as diagnosed and treated early. None of the folks I personally know that have had it were sent home - all spent 1 or 2 days in the hospital getting lots of IV antibiotics.

PS ...I totally disagree with changing the names to something (boring ...Bill and Lisa??!) and mainstream :yawn:...that is the whole point of your creation...it is yours...and unique to your unique talents and gifts .... The reader willtotally get the names .as they are.... in fact ...it's their originality that resonates with me.... But you must make that call, Tiggs ... (pss...there are other editors ...) It is just a matter on whether you want published now (her way) ...or later (your way ..or a compromise )

...I mean...these are time travelers....maybe darling should be named Skrillex...just kidding..darlin is fine..but u get my drift...these are unusual people...the public grew to love Hermione and dumbledor...but it took 8 years....just sayin

7/12 - 3: I have heard you. Angel yours was not changing, I forgot to put that, it resonates with the title and fine. The island of "Angel" right. Katz has made a great point. So if you were to pick up the book for the first time and start reading it, would the names as they are work? It works in my head, because it is my head, does it work for others. In fact I do not believe Blue's name can change, you will see why later. Mac does have a great feel to it. Nothing wrong with Ranger, since she is the deputy to Uncle. Who would not want a Count. I think my mind is almost made up, due to your great thought Katz. Sorry I broke my own rules, I said I would never quote or repost your stuff, but the thought is too good.

The start of the revision. TIOA sns 1 eps 1
The beginning:

9/2 - 6: It has been a horrible couple of weeks, Angel had enough of it and decided to buy a lottery ticket, she just hoped to win. She went home frustrated that night and really did not eat anything, her boss was grating on her and she just felt like going to bed and maybe getting on the laptop. She eventually nodded off, but later her eyes opened and she thought about the tickets. She looked the numbers up online and as more of the numbers matched her eyes got bigger. She could not believe it and checked them all again one more time, she had in fact had all the numbers to a record Mega Millions. Angel had just won 800 million dollars, after taxes she just made a cool 400 million.

The idea of getting away pleased her and she immediately started looking for an island to purchase. She would quit the next day and make sure to get things squared away. It took some time, but Angel had the money secured away and on the next day signed papers purchasing an island. She went back to her home and checked on travel, she had a local private jet liner take her on a ride over. She flew over and could not wait to have buildings made and move there. She loved her family and friends and invited them all to come if they wished to do so. Angel worked out some more details and about one year later, they were ready to move. Angel had boats take them over, the housing was pleasant and more than needed.

On the Island of Angel, all the family of the tree came together. All loving and enjoying each other, in time like it happens there are some things that do not fly with one party or another. So steps in Uncle the rule keeper, reminding people gently of the rules; sometimes they needed a kick, with deputy Ranger standing in agreement. Things would settle down, and the family would play nice and all be together again.

The next day stirs, it is time for Tiggs to fix the breakfast, up early and getting some coffee ready for the rest of the people about to wake up. The rest stir and some give a prayer before getting active, all is good on the Island of Angel.

What? there is another problem!! Someone has gone out and purchased some more vapemail, the agreement was to not purchase anything until the new year. A bet was even place friendly, loser pays out, or winner cashes in. Who is the culprit, what did they do? Some are thinking they know who did and watch, can it be? "It was not me!!" says Blue, no doubt how was she framed? So people's minds start to wonder. Is there someone on the island that was not part of the tree family? That was a little scary, if they were invited that would be a good thing, the tree family was growing.

The minds of the family start to think together, it could not possibly be Shawn. "No." he promised, could it be JPF? No not likely thought most, then who could it be? Why is there a camel on the island? Who all is on the island?

7/12 - 4: I will post of those here and there. A better start I hope.
