Out of commission, mangled foot.
So Wednesday I had a sore foot, tiny bit swollen. Thursday it was a tad more swollen, but I had a game that night and just through on the skates and went for it. After the game my foot was pretty sore and stated to swell more. So Friday I ended going to see the doctor, told me I had a foot infection, probably from a bug bite or a hair follicle getting some bacteria in it. So he gave me some pills, and drew a line on my foot and told me if it gets worse by tomorrow go to the hospital for IV therapy.
Saturday morning rolls around and it's much worse, way beyond the original lines he drew out. They gave me IV Therapy, and told me I have to come back Sunday, and on Monday (today), I'd get reassessed. Since I've been on different antibiotics since Friday, I figured no worries I'll be good to go by Monday. So I go in today, and the doctor reassesses it and says it's worse. So after no affect from the previous drugs he looks at the nurse and says "We'll move him on to XYZ (forgot the name) tonight at 7pm" the nurses face was like "WTF? Seriously?" I kinda freaked out and said "That face isn't good, what's wrong?" the doctor just said "It's a much more powerful drug usually 3 or 4 steps past what you're on, but I want to nip this in the bud and get rid of it for you". Needless to say I'm a little freaked out.
I've missed 2 ice times already, and I'll be missing Wednesday's game for sure.

Foot infection, at least it is not a sports injury. Get well soon.

Stop walking through those filthy rice patties in Nam, bro.
Yikes! Hope you're feeling better and back on the ice soon!

Wow man, i would freak out too!
What keeps me from being a hypocondriak, prob spelled that wrong. I always think of statistics. How often do you hear about someones foot falling off.
It'll get better, just do what they tell you dude.
Not worried about it falling off, worried about them amputating. :)
It's still not a lot better, feels a tiny bit better, but looks worse.

It always looks worse as it gets better. I know that happens with brusies and stingers anyways. Always gets more ugly, yellow and purple the next few days where as when it happens its like just red. Hope you feel better buddy. I know you want to get back on that ice.
