All this talk about botany-I have about the blackest thumb you can have. I killed a cactus for cripe's sake.

um . . . we've killed bamboo. Bamboo is indestructible, but we've unintentionally killed it.

Yup, me too. On both counts. I'm terrible with plants. It's too bad, because I like them in the house, but

Hey, I didn't hit Post Reply! What the hell?

Anyway, the rest of that sentence was supposed to be, "...but then again, the cats would just eat them even if I could keep them alive, so it's just as well."

I've killed Aloe plants before. You can go, like six months, without watering an Aloe plant with little ill effect...yet I've managed to kill them.

Outdoor stuff I can do--although I'm better with vegetable gardens than flower gardens, but if you give me an indoor plant, you are essentially signing its death warrant.

Evening, hosers. I'll be out for awhile............. infection in new shoulder. He wants to do surgery asap, tomorrow afternoon. Just damn.

This is NOT good news. Hopefully not major surgery.

Don't know about major, but no hospital this time. I will be put under, though, and I consider that major. I dread it. He going to reopen the big scar and go in and clean it all out. Then I'm going to an infectious disease specialist the next day for treatment. This will be my 6th surgery in 7 years. I'm quite tired of it.

 

[limr]

Oh no! We'll be thinking of you, Snerd baby! Be well and come back to us soon.

yeah sounds like he is getting some of the nasties out... have you seen the infectious disease specialist before?

No. That's what's so aggravating........... the shlouder replacement has gone SO well for 8 months now! He's baffled as to why an infection would appear so long after surgery.

Anyway, thanks Lenny and Brian. I'll get off the pity party now. Maybe go look for a camera to swipe!!

The treatment, little i know my wife saw one of them couple years ago. They gave her two options. Either stay in the hospital and get one drug intravenous over a course of days or week. Or get a pill of two different drugs with outpatient care and shots etc. etc. Vancomycin and something else.
Not wanting to stay in the hospital for a few days or week she chose the latter outpatient program which turned out costs me 250 dollars every two days between the drug and the outpatient. which i had no idea because she put it on one of my credit cards. LMAO But as she said, she was able to be home for easter (at the cost of 4k maybe higher). i THINK they will let you go home though. Just the cost depends on what the insurance will pick up and in my case the insurance covered hospital stay but not pill form of the particular drug and the outpatient. And if it bad enough they may want to have you at least one day overnight just to have you on the antibiotic intravenous for a least a day.

Workers Comp pays for everything. Company I worked for for 25 years was good about paying for 2 back surgeries and now 2 shoulder surgeries. I gave them my back and arms.............. doesn't seem quite worth it now.

Snerd, I hope all goes according to plan.
