Cut myself on oysters Christmas day(Sunday) needing stitches, back to hospital Tuesday & Wednesday for IV drip & redressing(4hrs each day). Wednesday night severe sweats/chills/headaches & vomiting. Thursday admitted to hospital for emergency IV & stitches removed. Home today but I still have at least another 2/3 days of daily hospital visits & a strict alcohol ban tonight with foot raised,will be a week at least before i can ride again.
Damn... nasty infection... gotta get on top of that mate...Did they leave any shell fragments in there?? We should all go on a strict no Alcohol theme tonight in support... Nah just kidding... Hope it all heals quickly and with no more issues... rest up... these things can go bad in a real hurry.
No fragments showed up on xray but It only takes a dust sized spec. Wasnt actually eating oysters they ambushed me on the river bank
All those things that make oysters taste so good are frikkin nasty when they get under your skin. Get well soon mate. Think youre over the worst of it. Should start feeling better by the hour.
Ouch , that would have hurt . Been there done that regarding oyster shells punctured my foot when i was i was pretty young at my grandparents place.
One of the worst places on the leg to get a injury, heal up quickly and eat some Minuka honey,kills all infections...Ken
its always the ones you least expect, Oysters, sitting there day after day, planning, watching, waiting, determining a way to screw up your day even more, all because the are filter feeders.... frikkin filter feeds.... looks terrible mate hope it has healed
Unfortunately no it has been a nightmare & I havnt been able to wear a shoe since christmas, it was healing well the first 2 weeks but my inability to stay off my feet caused the skin to pull apart leaving me with a gaping hole that almost needed a skin graft, 2 weeks later & its getting better by the day. Missing life & needing money but as soon as I can get a shoe on the zxr is gonna cop it
Still looks pretty swollen... and pretty nasty... really looks like you should have had a skin graft... but what would I know.. I sel Irrigation Pumps...lol
