We did end up going to the hospital, spending 6 hours there. At one point they wanted to keep James in because they're worried that the infection will travel to his knee joint, which would be really bad stump wise. But in the end he got sent home with mega doses of antibiotics and a strict warning to sit with his leg up and not put on his leg for a while. So it's back to using a wheelchair again for now, though thankfully he can drive with only one leg so we weren't stuck at the hospital.

It's been a long day, and it's still not finished. Still, I have vege mince and onions to look forward to later. When I cook it anyway.

What a bummer. At least he didn't have to stay over in the hospital. Thank some deity for small favors. I hope he feels betters with the antibiotics!

Yeah, that's what I keep reminding myself. Getting home was the important thing. Now his stupid leg has a week to heal before they will haul him in.

Thanks, Bettina.

All my best wishes for you and him, sweetie. *crosses all digits*

[turps33.livejournal.com]

Thank you, honey.

[nopseud]

Aww, poor James! Give him a hug from us. {james hugs}

[turps33.livejournal.com]

I'll do that. When he wakes up anyway :)

[solariana.livejournal.com]

*hugs you both*

[turps33.livejournal.com]

Thank you, honey.

[chrismm.livejournal.com]

Oh, no. I hope it heals up quickly, and he feels better fast. And you aren't driven completely crazy by worry and a couch-bound husband. Ack!

I'm sorry I missed your earlier post--this weekend's been consumed by family stuff, so I've missed whole chunks of LJ...

[turps33.livejournal.com]

Thank you. It is all stressy at the moment, and yes, the driven crazy thing is a given *g*

Honestly, you didn't miss much. Just another post in a list of James being ill.

[turloughishere.livejournal.com]

Poor James! I'm keeping my fingers crossed that the antibiotics will kick in speedily so that he'll start to feel better!!

PS Don't forget to take care of yourself, we don't want you too to get ill!

ETA: I knew I'd forgotten something!! Mikeyway pics (http://stele3.insanejournal.com/139291.html)!

[turps33.livejournal.com]

Thank you, for both parts. I really need to remember that my shoulders and back don't like pushing James in his wheelchair. Still, on the plus side it's good exercise.

MIKEY! Those cheered me up a lot! THANK YOU!

Hugs are gratefully taken.

Thank you.

[puszysty.livejournal.com]

Hope it clears up soon *hugs*

[turps33.livejournal.com]

Yeah, me too.

Thanks, honey.

[raynedanser.livejournal.com]

Yikes! What a day!

[turps33.livejournal.com]

It sucked :(

[hakeer.livejournal.com]

Oh, man. That doesn't sound like a pleasant way to spend the day. *hugs*

[turps33.livejournal.com]

It really wasn't. I'm just glad I knew to take a book. Having something to read helped a lot.

Thanks, honey.

[clumsygyrl.livejournal.com]

*hugs*

[turps33.livejournal.com]

I know. sigh.

Thanks, honey.

[vaudevilles.livejournal.com]

Oh honey - that sounds like a nightmare. I hope the antibots kick in quickly and that he doesn't drive you utterly bananas!

[turps33.livejournal.com]

Man, I so hope they kick in too. They wanted to put his leg in a back board cast, and put him on IV antibiotics, but with his hands being as they are, no one could get a needle in. So it's strict rest and pills. But of course the only way he can get about without his leg on is using his knees, which is where the infection is. So it's the couch for him, with wheelchair outings when he gets cabin fever. Which will be tomorrow knowing him.

It's such a mess, I tell you, 2008 is being a bitch so far.

And now I'll stop venting at you.

[turps33.livejournal.com]

Thank you, honey.

[kaethe.livejournal.com]

*hugs* I hope James is better sooon!

[turps33.livejournal.com]

Thank you.

I hope he's on the mend soon too. He's quite pathetic at the moment.

[withdiamonds.livejournal.com]

I hope the antibiotics work superfast. *hugs*

[turps33.livejournal.com]

Yeah, me too. Though the amount they've given him the infection should curl up and die. Let's hope so.

Thanks, Donna.

[ephemera.livejournal.com]

oh lord, poor James! What a nightmare!

(what kind of films / tv shows / books / magazines is he into? I feel the urge to make up a care and distraction package ...)

[turps33.livejournal.com]

I've been thinking since I read your comment, and he really doesn't read at all. Magazines or books. He does like puzzle books though, if that fits the bill.

Movie wise, typical guy stuff. If it blows up, he likes it. Same with tv shows.

He's weird!

You, however, are a star.

[queenydiva.livejournal.com]

Geez, it never rains but it pours! Er, or something like that. Here's sending prayers and good vibes your family's way.

[turps33.livejournal.com]

Tell me about it! Thank you, honey.

Oh honey.

I've missed you.

[ninjetti75.livejournal.com]

Oh my goodness...

Well, it's a lousy situation, but it sounds like he's on the better end of the scale of possibilities, at least. Best Wishes to James, Terri-Luv, and I know you and yours will pull through in the end. You're troopers.

*hugs*

[turps33.livejournal.com]

It's been a sucky start of the year for sure. Thank goodness for Camp Sparkle coming up soon, that's all I say.

[frausorge]

Yikes! Oh man, all best wishes for fast conquering of the infection! and for all other types of healing & recovery, my goodness. And rest for you yourself also.

[turps33.livejournal.com]

Thank you, honey.

[yami-tai.livejournal.com]

I hope James gets better soon.

[turps33.livejournal.com]

Me too. Thanks, honey.

[ariadnem.livejournal.com]

Oh boy. I'm so sorry, dear. I hope James gets better soon *hugs*

[turps33.livejournal.com]

Thanks, honey.

[turps33.livejournal.com]

Thank you, honey.

[ihearthings-ii.livejournal.com]

OMG! is he okay?? *hugs* to both of you.

[turps33.livejournal.com]

He will be. It's just a case of waiting at the moment.
