I'll miss him more than any woman, how many times he saved me from ruin I can't

As some of you may be aware, I like to go racing, few bets, few drinks all the usual. Well it may come as a surprise to know that so do thousands of others.
But many can't handle the drink or their losses and the two together make some poor souls into wrecks.
Now me and my caring friends noticed this was particularly common amongst young women and as men of the world, used to an exce...1 Recommendation3 Comments -

Early saturday morning, I awoke on my sofa, face down, fully clothed, without a clue how I got there. I then discovered my car was not in the drive, my watch was missing. I didn't know where either were. Then the real enormity of it hit me.....I was playing golf in two hours and my clubs were in the car !
This sobered me up, after a few phone calls, (one to a Vermont woman who d...1 Recommendation2 Comments -

I went to a ARNP yesterday. After talking to her briefly about the emotional challenges I deal with, I broke down totally and completely!! Just absolutely lost it. I told her that the hardest part of ALL of this is that with EVERYTHING, either I'm not BELIEVED, or no one finds it important.

Flesh-Eating Bacteria Information
Necrotizing fasciitis or fasciitis necroticans, commonly known as "flesh-eating bacteria", is a rare infection of the deeper layers of skin and subcutaneous tissues (fascia). Many types of bacteria can cause necrotizing fasciitis (eg. Group A streptococcus, Vibrio vulnificus, Clostridium perfringens, Bacteroides fragilis), of which Group A streptococcus is the most common cause.
The infection occasionally starts with pharyngitis (sore throat), but more often begins locally, at a site of trauma, which may be severe (such as the result of surgery), minor, or even non-apparent. The affected skin is very painful, red, hot and swollen. Skin color may progress to violet and blisters may form, with subsequent necrosis (death) of subcutaneous tissues. Patients with necrotizing fasciitis typically have a fever and appear very ill. More severe cases progress within hours, and the death rate is high, about 25%.
The diagnosis is confirmed by either blood cultures or aspiration of pus from tissue. Early medical treatment is crucial. Treatment often includes intravenous penicillin, vancomycin and clindamycin. If necrotizing fasciitis is suspected, surgical exploration is always necessary, often resulting in aggressive debridement (removal of infected tissue). Amputation of the affected organ(s) may be necessary.
