Are the liver and kidney problems due to that same infection?
Yes, mostly b/c his body was overwhelmed by the infection and subsequent amputation. Basically, in the face of such a toxic infection, his kidneys and liver shut down. Getting them going again, it seems, isn't an easy task.
Oh, ugh. That just seems so unfair. I hadn't really thought about systemic damage in addition to the necrosis and amputation.
Oh, man. Poor Big!Boss. My thoughts are with him.
Oh man...that's not good. Best wishes for Big!Boss.
Many prayers for your Big Boss, Teppy.
YAY!!!! I have been approved for CommonHealth, a version of MassHealth, insurance. I can buy my drugs again! I am SO VERY, VERY thrilled.
Yay, vw!
Best wishes for Teppy's Big Boss.
Hurricane's down to a Cat 3 and pounding Biloxi.
Just saw film from the French Quarter. It's getting some very minor flooding right now - just water coming up from the overburdened storm drains. Lot of windows blown out and trees down, but it'll be okay. They're worried about flooding coming from the lake side but that's the North part of the city and furthest from the Quarter itself. I expect it'll be okay.
Looks like it's taking Camille's path.
that's the best news, VW!
ma~~for BigBoss
and as I suspected I have realtives ( not in NO) that will be rideing out the storm in thier homes. so I am pretending to know nothing about the storm.
