In my experience, it takes at least 3 days to see/ feel a turn around... then you take the antibiotics till doc says to stop or they're gone (per doc). Not when you feel better... Feeling better is only part of healing. Gotta get your blood right. Otherwise it will come right back... I hope you are listening...
They are suspicious of being cuddled mid day? Or is it warm there?

Dawn is right about the antibiotics. Don't even think about saving some for next time  A second infection in the same area could be literally be the death of you. It does take some time for the antibiotics to fully do their work. Wait and see what the lab results say. As you said, you may need to go back in for more meds.
The gliders will survive. They have each other. Right now you need to put yourself first.

It just needed to be bled out. Common, simple procedure, that I managed to botch--but thankfully his little nose could tell right where the weak spot was. You should sue yourself for mal-practice & report it to the board so you never try such a procedure untrained again. even splashed it on like after shave. (not recommended) Really? I do that a lot, myself. And I won't lie to you, it feels good to know I can do the cutting if I need to. Was pretty nervous about it. This new life is going to require such things--as there will rarely be medical facilities around. Save it for immediate, life-threatening emergencies. Otherwise, seek professionals. There are smaller practices that often cost less than a hospital would charge (also free clinics in many communities for those without financial means) that may have been able to help you. Next I need to learn to stitch up a wound. I hear oranges are good to practice on--and yummy when you are done. Pigs feat work better, that's what most med techs are told to practice on. Wait, why am I helping you with this!?!? Had Justin not opened it up, and if my next attempt to open it had failed, I was planning on getting to the Urgent Care. *face-palm* Not even numb anymore...OOWWWWW! $#%^&^ing $#$%&*er Sonofa%^*^^$! Someone stabbed a bunch of holes in my leg! Totally earned it. "Take a moment to feel your body, and be thankful for your health." Take a moment to reflect on the fact you must care for that body as well to maintain that health. Look dude, the ERs of hospitals I've worked in receive cases of 'self-care' all the time. ALL THE TIME. Seriously, I would hate for anyone I know to end up like me: in moderate+ levels of constant pain for the rest of your life. (Not self-inflicted, but that would be an even worse reason for it.) Also, I've seen people lose limbs over lesser injuries. And maybe I have been poking the bear some. ;-) Just slap on the flat spot where everyone else slaps. Just maybe?? I'll aim carefully should we ever meet. NCO-attitude aside, I mean all of this with affection because I'd hate to miss out on your humorous outlook on things. No fooling, man, I was concerned for you, whether you consider it legit or not. I've been in positions where I've had to review 'incidents' like this that have ended in tragedy. Too many. Besides, I still need you to update your will bequeathing your gliders to me. PS: It's not very gentlemanly to worry the women-folk. You know how frail their constitution is. You'll have them all a-flutter if you keep this up. Then they get their vengeance three-fold   Frail Constitution?!?! Hutch, I will have you know that when I worked on the dairy farm after high school I had to do stuff that would make you and ComradeFluffyPants toss your cookies! There is nothing as vile as cleaning the placenta out of a cow three or four days after they have calved when they can't do it themselves. And we aren't going to talk about the fly larva!

No one appreciates sarcasm these days  Hutch, I will have you know that when I worked on the dairy farm after high school I had to do stuff that would make you and ComradeFluffyPants toss your cookies! Doubtful, at least in my case. There is nothing as vile as cleaning the placenta out of a cow three or four days after they have calved when they can't do it themselves. Yes, there is & I've crawled through it. The things that come out of the human body...  And we aren't going to talk about the fly larva! Please don't. Bad memories from my time working in an Afghan military hospital. Now who's poked the bear? :-) What's life without adventure?

Do you know that if ComradeFluffyPants doesn't behave and take his meds til they are gone, I could go give him a antibiotic injection with one of those 16 gauge harpoons we used on the cows. Bahahahahahahahahahaha

 glad you're feeling pain (one of the drawbacks of recovery), and feeling better! I'm guessing you have a stint or healing from inside out? Is Justin attacking you still? All the kids doing OK?
