This is Joe - cool Joe. This was taken last weekend - BEFORE the MRSA took over his life. Typical interaction with Joe: My leg hurts. Me - Did you hurt it when you feel longboarding? Joe - No, it's my other leg that hurts. Joe leaves the room.
20 minutes later: Jesse brings Joe to me - to see his leg. Joe's back right upper thigh is swollen the size of a softball - very red, very hot and a large sore in the center.
Jump up - get dressed - go to the ER - trying to decifer from Joe - how and when this might have happened. Joe can't pinpoint the event that made his leg look so angry.
At the hospital - the Dr to Joe: Dude - how long has this been like this? Joe is uncertain. Joe has a fever and they begin to lance the wound - pack and dress it. Even though it looks extremely painful - Joe at times, giggles - he is ticklish.
The wound is diagnosed a MRSA - a superbug. After 4 trips to the ER for continuing treatment - 2 antibiotics, pain medicine and 4 missed days of school - Joe is better and can enjoy his spring break now...
And I am very proud of myself for this new discovery. I figured out - by myself - how to add links on my blog page. That is so cool to me. I always wondered how that was done and I tripped over the page that walked me through the steps...very cool.
When will the snow go away???

There are some big ol' spiders at your house. It's like Arachnaphobia meets Cheaper by the Dozen. Sometimes it's comical, but the other times...not so much.
