My good friend is hurt

[Rifleman]

Thats all our facebook pages and FOG pages all alive and busy again.

Glad you are home Dazz , but please no more nipple pics while I am eating my dinner

[Lee_R]

Dazz - really pleased to hear you're home!

Just wanted to offer you my sympathies as I have a pretty good idea what you're going through. I was involved in gas flash fire a few years back and had 19ish% burns to arms, legs and face, most of which looked just like what you've got going on there. Spent a week in the burns unit, then back/forth for two more getting dressings changed.

Pleased to say that within about 6 months it had all faded, and after a few years the marks were pretty much gone. All I would do is echo what Dave1966 said about the sun...I was two years before I dropped below factor 50 and a hat! Even then I turned scarlet in an instant I also found that drinking red wine turned me EXACTLY the same colour as what was in my glass - friends had to wear just to go drinking with me...

Keep swearing at the physio girl - she's used to it... and keep sucking the gas/air on the dressing changes - trust me...they do get easier every time.

[Big Dav]

Good to have you back Dazz.

[fogman]

welcome back dazz

[mickh]

Nice to see you again, you big tot.

[snapper]

Welcome back big lad, stay away from the truck for a bit though and don't go taking back axles off, dragging it 20 mtrs down the garden to the shed and lifting it onto the work bench on your own like I did within about an hour of getting home from the hospital a mere 2 days after having my appendix out...... I was bored! The doc was not happy

[dave1966]

Glad that your home and that your doing ok bigman.

[frontera2010]

brills news to hear that you are at home at last... hope get better soon

[Rifleman]

Well it looks like the big man is back in hospital again.
It would seem he has caught MRSA.
I'll try to keep you all posted.

Get well soon buddy, your not having a lot of luck just now.

[snapper]

Oh s**t. Not good, have to admit I did wonder the other day when someone mentioned he'd caught something while in there and his discharge was being delayed.

Good luck big lad.

[Rifleman]

Hi again folks.
Darren has just phoned me from the hospital.
It seems he went back in to have his dressings changed, and all of a sudden there were lots of people around him.
So he knew something was wrong.
A doctor informed him he had MRSA and he had to be kept in.
He has to have his arm anethsetised tomorrow so they can remove a sample for testing, to find out just what type he has.
He was told that burns dont bleed because they are cotterised at the point of injury, yet he is bleeding heavily.
He has been informed that he could be in hospital for up to a month.
They have him on 4 different drips at the moment, and he says the pain is really bad.
One of the local FOG members is planning to pop in and visit him soon, so hopefully he will be able to see him.
I'm keeping in touch with Laura to make sure she is coping ok.
Darren has asked me to thank all the members who have posted very kind words about this, and he feels very humbled by it all.
I hope to be able to see him after the weekend, and will keep this thread updated.
Once again, thanks to you all, its really appreciated.

[Big Dav]

Keith, please pass on my renewed thoughts and best wishes for them.

[RatCav]

Best wishes not only for Daz, but also for his family. Cannot imagine the stress they must be going through.

[MrTom]

This is the first thing I have read since getting my internet back and it's gutting
Stay positive Daz as that's half the battle. like everyone else I wish you all the best.
