Question about strange skin reaction

[AngusATAT]

Way to go, folks! It's nice to see our community members looking out for each other.

Glad you got to it before it got bad, jiff!

Well, I'm just glad it's all sorted out... A little upset they said I couldn't go to work though, I guess it makes sense if I work in customer service the customers may not like being helped by a guy with a cathider in his arm. Might get some strange looks.

So, you have a catheder in your arm and can't go to work? So, what would I do in a similar situation?

I'd throw a party and make my own brand of Bloody Mary. You work that catheder just right and you can milk yourself like a cow.

And the jokes would go as freely as the liquor

"Yeah, I'm on ...... and the doctor worried my erections would last longer than 4 hours. So he installed this blood letting gizzmo...."

No, you don't want to work, you want to be home and stay quiet. Let the antibiotics do their work and don't try to rush things into your whole body until they get er done! You also do not need infection in the port(needle) site, ok!
You silly!
Now you know what to do when red lines start racing towards your heart.
You'll be fine now, but do take it easy, give yourself the night off. Were/are you running a fever, did they say? That's another reason to stay quiet, you don't want to induce or aggravate a fever. Or you will be in hospital for awhile, seriously.
No drinking alcohol, however vaping allowed. And drink lots of water also, will help meds work better.
Whew. Close enough.

That's not a bad idea. I'll ask them if I can keep it after it's taken out... Steralizing it first, of course... But hey, it could be used for a prototype... Then I would have to downsize it to a more suitable size.... Hmmm...

 

[nicotime]

Yeah ask them for a new one though...I wouldn't reuse any of it...dont think you can autoclave it.
