Is there anything we can do for you?
Your good wishes and patience will suffice. I have hopes of getting out of here before next Monday, but it's the frowning faces here that have the say in that.

Frowning faces?  I did not know Teidar could cross-train as Doranzer . . .

I'll join the chorus:
Get well soon!


I had a bone infection ("osteomyelitis") in my upper jaw bone, the tooth is still in...
I hope your body won't need a operation to pull out the infection....

I did undergo surgery. I'm hoping to be discharged from the hospital tomorrow.

Wow... can you walk OK still?

Sounds like they removed bone... so I presume you are sore at the very least if not limping.

I'm fit enough to go home, but they won't discharge me until they get on the same page with insurance, etc., since I'll be on I.V. antibiotics for a while. I don't know when that's going to happen.

Sorry to hear you poorly.
I'm old enough to remember a thing where I live called pox parties, something parents were encouraged to do during the 70's and 80's. Children with chicken pox or a similar "mild" illness were put together to share it around and build up immunities to it. Immunisation/vaccination programs were/are a thing and most children had them within their first few years of birth (keeping in mind the health care system here is nationalised and funded through taxes). But this activity was still encouraged in central and northern england. Its died out since then and rare to even hear about it these days. Most younger generation parents are horrified at the mention of it.

By "septic" I just meant infected. The technical term is osteomyelitis.
Very sorry to hear that, man. Hope you get well soon!

Lol I have had that same sentiment after some invasive surgery. I'd say make sure to get some sleep but one's body has a way of enforcing that whether one likes it or not.

Just, you know, make sure to wake back up.

Welcome home!

Now I wish a speedy and full recovery!

Don't push it, your body and health have an unhealthy way of pushing back when you ask too early.

Ouch. I once heard an Achilles tendon snap while playing volleybal.
I hope your docs know how to treat the achilles heel well, so that this will never happen to you.
