The Worst New Year's Eve Ever
I had great New Year's Eve plans as I was going to go XXX Jay's New Year's Eve Party.
It is probably still going on as I write this.
Instead I ended up spending the night at St Joseph?s Hospital with my wife, Kira Silver.
My wife had what I thought was a pimple on her leg. I thought she was being a baby so I didn't pay much attention to her complaining until she woke up Sunday afternoon and her entire calf was red.
We went to Urgent Care and they told us she had a staph infection and cellulitis. They operated on her right away and cut out the infection, gave her prescription for antibiotics and Vicodin and sent us home.
Monday when she woke up she was complaining about the pain and stated vomiting so we called the doctor and he told us to go to the ER.
We went to the ER and the doctor told us that the antibiotics she was on should be working, gave her a prescription for nausea, were about to send us home. They took her temperature as a final precaution before we left; it had soared up to 104.
They immediately transferred her in the cardiac unit, and pumped full of antibiotics and fluids.
I just got home to clean up and check my emails, after sending all night in chair. She is still there until tomorrow
I am writing this so that if anyone gets what looks like a pimple that starts really bad to take it very seriously. The doctors told me there is a huge outbreak of cellulitis in the LA; the good news is if caught early it is very treatable with antibiotics.
I hope you all have a Happy New Year?s
Oh and our apology to Joe from AMA for not calling him to cancel her shoot earlier yesterday.
