As someone who has lost an internal organ to a MRSA infection, this is scary news to me.A leg infection? Yikes.
I’m excited for Martin to be back.
Yes, Booser is currently top 3 or 4 on my personal trust-meter until we see what we have with Martin back. I was going to disagree with you as to Kelly, but Booser's FIP (2.99) is far better than Kelly's (4.51).Booser being optioned surprises me, but maybe it is just to give him a rest now that they have an additional arm with Martin being back. Now they are down to only one LHP in the pen and my faith in Bernie has really diminished.
He's pitched 3 straight days, right? It might be a form of load management.Booser being optioned surprises me, but maybe it is just to give him a rest now that they have an additional arm with Martin being back.

If they show him the numbers that were referred to in the story, he probably understands.I can’t imagine Pivetta is thrilled. He comes off as a bit of a hothead super competitive type.

That’s a fair point and probably a big factorHe's pitched 3 straight days, right? It might be a form of load management.
That's crazy and awful. I'm sorry to hear that. How did these infections happen? Just cuts that went unattended or was there diabetes involved? Either way, it's crazy.... the golden age of antibiotics is over.Yeah, the O'Neill news is upsetting, I hope he's OK. I have a old friend who got an infection (in his leg I believe) and passed away from it a few days later, was only 42.
A coworker was recently hospitalized for several days due to a leg infection that was caused by a cyst/zit/ingrown hair. Any open wounds, no matter how small have the possibility of becoming infected.That's crazy and awful. I'm sorry to hear that. How did these infections happen? Just cuts that went unattended or was there diabetes involved? Either way, it's crazy.... the golden age of antibiotics is over.
Thanks, I appreciate it. I have no idea what happened to him, but it wasn't diabetes. We sadly had lost touch for a while. But yeah it just seemed like a total freak accident / incident. Scary that it can just like... happen out of nowhere like that.That's crazy and awful. I'm sorry to hear that. How did these infections happen? Just cuts that went unattended or was there diabetes involved? Either way, it's crazy.... the golden age of antibiotics is over.
I hope that the team has sent him back to Boston. He needs to get away from all that. I thought of him when I was reading a sad article in The Guardian about a doctor who lost his son to sepsis, and a woman who fought an infection for quite a while before tests showed it was MRSA. I am so sorry to hear about the loss of @donutogre's friend at such a young age.It doesn’t seem that the type of thing O’Neill is dealing with comes up very often in sports but I wonder if the infection type situation is any more prevalent in sports due to locker room germs, bacteria, community showers…
I think it was maybe ten or fifteen years ago that all of the Blue Jays, I think, got staph infections?It doesn’t seem that the type of thing O’Neill is dealing with comes up very often in sports but I wonder if the infection type situation is any more prevalent in sports due to locker room germs, bacteria, community showers…
Who waits four months for a doctor appointment for a serious condition? Go to the Urgent Care or ER, for god’s sake.Completely off-topic, absolutely true. Actual names omitted in the interest of privacy, but you’d all recognize the players if they weren’t:
John receives a tentative diagnosis of Mersa, and is referred to a specialist. He calls for an appointment in July. Receptionist tells him that the doctor is very busy and can’t see John until November. John protests that he needs to see the doctor earlier, he has a serious case of Mersa, but to no avail. The receptionist gets very short and unpleasant with him, and John reluctantly accepts the November appointment.
In early November, the receptionist calls John’s home to remind him of the upcoming appointment. John answers the phone. The receptionist says.’ may I please speak with John.’. John says’ ‘ that won’t be possible, he’s dead’, and hangs up..
The receptionist is reduced to hysterics. After calming the receptionist down, someone else from the office makes a follow up call and determines that this was a goof. The receptionist hasn’t fully recovered to this day. Neither sadly has John.
End of digression.
Ha, I wish it had been something useless, like a spleen. Luckily, I started out with two kidneys. Had flares up 4 times over the next year and a half, but haven't had any issues since 2010. MRSA is no fucking joke, though.This post needed a proper signoff such as [/Spleenless in Section 17].
Hoping O'Neill has an uneventful recovery from here on.
Of course, he didn’t wait four months with no medical oversight. No one said that. He was undergoing treatment on a continuing basis with his pcp, and was referred to the specialist for in depth second opinion re his situation.Who waits four months for a doctor appointment for a serious condition?

I agree with your second sentence.

Hey, not main board worthy, but I've been here a long time so I hope I you'll cut me some slack. Mods, feel free to move this post. I just had a stroke this morning (no truth to the rumor that our starting pitching was the cause). It was a mild one and I'm in the ICU but recovering nicely. If you're the praying type please send some my way. And no need for any big well wishes but a "hope you're better soon" would be lovely and greatly appreciated.
Gosh. I definitely hope you're better soon.I'm missing my spleen so that signoff works for me.

Yes and yes, how'd you know?Are you in a stroke unit and if so, do you hate the bed yet?
Also, I hope it all works out.
I have zero inside information, but my first thought when I heard that O'Neil had a leg infection was that it was the result of a tattoo that didn't heal well.That's crazy and awful. I'm sorry to hear that. How did these infections happen? Just cuts that went unattended or was there diabetes involved? Either way, it's crazy.... the golden age of antibiotics is over.
Aint a lot of medical problems my family hasn't had. In this case, my cousin's husband had a very minor stroke and went into the stroke unit where the beds are designed for people who've had massive strokes and can't turn over on their own so the bed includes a mechanism to help prevent bedsores and the like.Yes and yes, how'd you know?
I don't do the prayer thing, but I wish you the best and hope that it's a speedy recovery.I'm missing my spleen so that signoff works for me.
