Feeling totally inadequate by the beautiful kneecaps in baba_helly's thread, I wanted to do something to make us hideous people feel normal. Without any further ado, here is my disgusting leg with a staph infection that was I was hospitalized for.....

That was after three bags of Vancomycin via a PIC line. Oral antibiotics the week before didn't put a dent in it. I refrained from posting the 'ooozing' pictures. :bigsmile:

Yikes!!!

One of my legs swelled up really bad when I got a blood clot in it (thanks hormonal birth control), but I don't have any pictures of it. But it was pretty gross looking

So gutted that I don't have my old pre digital pics handy. Had a great one of a 6 inch pin that worked its way out of my hip bone and stuck out the bottom of my scar, half way down my thigh. Doc tried to say it was just an infected stitch and kept sending me home until it finally pushed through. I was with my child minder at the time and I remember her trying to pull it out which would never have worked as they have big nuts screwed on the end lol

I am interested in what the other definitions of disgusting are that you need a disclaimer other than "disgusting".

I'm guessing that some unnatural mixture of condiments are involved.

This takes me back.


I actually had MRSA in the same spot (as in your picture)

It was scary. I was hospitalized for 5 days, and almost lost my leg from the knee down.

I had to have a pic line for 3 weeks...and I felt so sick the whole time.

They could not close the wound either, and the home nurse visits were a nightmare with the pain.


Anyhoo, hope you are better...fortunately I recovered.

Here is the scar.

Yeah, all good now....well, the leg is. The mental and behavior issues are a whole 'nother story. My hospital stay was only 3 days, and the doctor didn't tell me until after it cleared up that they were two more treatments of Vancomycin away from removing the leg from the knee down.

SO you can't really tell in this photo but I have lots of scars on my legs ranging from stretch marks, to clumsy scars, to stupid scars. I wouldn't wear shorts for the longest time but I don't care anymore. lol. Maybe it's a part of growing up but I care not if people find my legs sexy. My knees and ankles are weird and don't match (due to the amount of times that I have fallen/sprained/twisted my legs/knees).

Sidenote: I hope you get to feeling better! That sounds like a terrifying ordeal to be hospitalized for staph.

i heard them talking about it through whatever haze I was in from all the meds. I guess they thought I was asleep.

I started panicking and they called psych in.

Jerks.

That vancomycin was some strong nasty stuff.

I didn't think nothing of the meds until they hung the first bag and gave me a shot in my stomach. I asked what that was for and the nurse told me it was to keep the Vancomycin from shutting down my kidneys. Worry set in at that point.

All good. That was a few years ago, and luckily, my wife was kind enough to document the whole thing while posting the pictures to Facebook. She and her sisters kept wanting to stick it with a pin.....damn Canadians. :laugh:

As for your legs.....guys dig scars. :drinker:

Slipped off a climbing wall. This is after a week so it's had time to stop bleeding.

Kinda felt like a dull aching pain until my "friend" sprayed spray-on plaster on it. And then it felt like she'd slapped it (raw wound).

Both my shins and knees are covered in scars and scrapes from climbing. Exercise. They said it was good for you.

Whew! I've got rose gardens on both knees from longboarding. Bestie said I have good legs, and I need to stop 'ruining' them.

"I'm not ruining my knees--I'm decorating them!" :explode: :laugh:
