The Sick Sense
By Wyatt Earp | June 27, 2006
I see dead people . . . and wish I were one of them.
Two times in the last two years, I wound up with cellulitis. Cellulitis is a staph infection that – for me – runs through my leg, causing extreme pain and a very high fever. The last two times I caught it, I spent a week in the hospital each time.
Today, I woke up with it again.
The wife took my temperature at 10am, and it was a delightful 104. The pain from the cellulitis in my leg is so great that I can barely walk, and my back feels like it was hit with a sledge hammer. I am praying for death. This is the first time I have been out of bed all day. The doc said that there was no way I am going to work until at least Friday, and gave me some antibiotics to knock out the virus.
In the meantime, I’ll blog when I can.

Thanks all! I’ve only had five hours sleep since yesterday afternoon, so I’m a bit off kilter (more than usual), and my high fever returned (and broke) three times last night. It was like sleping in a waterbed afterwards.
Still feel like crap, but better than yesterday.

The number one cure for all ills is…
NOT GETTING SICK!

Normally I laugh at other people’s discomfort, but for you Wyatt, I’ll reverse my position. I hope you fell better real soon and are back on your feet protecting our fine city from jack-asses.
Are you sure your not sick from watching the Phillies?

Big Cuz – Like I watch the Phillies. You know me better than that. I actually saw the entire Yankees/Braves game this afternoon. A Rod wins it in the 12th with a homer. SWEET!
