It's been another roller coaster day. Gist is, Angela has an infection in her hip, pre-existing as far as the white-coats can tell. Opening her up and stirring up the tissues in or around the failed hip socket etc got the bug excited. It's a fairly weak strain of bacterium, similar to 'acne' but in her case it acts like a zit on steroids...hmmm, wonder how that happened. Her body freaks out trying to rid it like a teen with a pimple on prom night.

To make things more interesting...her body doesn't like the antibiotics. Fevers spike, vitals go nuts, rash and welts break out trying to rid her of the stuff that is trying to get rid of the bug. White coats are perplexed but on it. She may be in here for a while until they can control the infection with something her body won't reject - stop the beastie from spreading to her susceptible joints and high tech hardware.

I have the solution...they won't listen to me though, I'm the one who's willing to sleep in the shower. They gave me a lazy boy for the night, I'm here now gazing at my slightly snoring beauty...guess I skerred 'em. Happy to be here though....at least they could hook me up...geez
