Hello, I am the son of the person known as "boilerman10." Dad wants me to tell the people at this site that he has been in the hospital, and that it has been a painful ordeal.
He was struck with a seemingly drug resistant form of cellulitis, a staph infection which settled into his leg. Cephalosporin antibiotics were ineffective and time was lost hunting for an antibiotic that would stop the spread of the infection. He responded to Vancomycin for treatment. He nearly lost his leg. He spent 17 days in the hospital.
He wishes to say hello to all of you, and hopes to catch up on what is happening as soon as he can do stairs with reasonable safety. Dad loves this site and feels kinship to many of you here, both friends and detractors. Thank you.
