    just left the ER right now, i went cuz one knee was twice the size of the other. i got a bug bite some time during the week and it complicated itself into a staph infection which somehow developed into cellulitis. so now i'm stuck in for the next few days. these antibiotics are some pretty nasty shit, i can barely stand straight. so hows everyone doing tonight?

    nope, no contributions this weekend from me to the holy ground of this forum, the name of which shall not be mentioned.

    due to the location of the infection (knee), the doc said no sex for a week to prevent spreading it

    haha the worst part was how fast it spread. three days ago it was just a bug bite, same day it looked like a pimple. the next day it grew to a massive red spot the whole size of my knee. yesterday/tonight, that redness started to spread up my leg, which is why i went to the ER. now i get three antibiotics and some hydrocodone, winning
