So I was going to write this from a hospital bed, but when I logged on the public hospital internet, I got a message that said "Your provider has blocked access to this page. Reason: Gambling." LOL

I got a phone call this morning saying my blood culture was positive for bacteria, meaning I have sepsis. I have had a 1 degree fever for 4 days now, and I feel almost completely fine. The ER doctor consulted with an infectious disease specialist and a GI specialist and coupled with my blood work showing normal lactic acid concentration. They gave me an IV antibiotic and discharged me, and the sepsis is in, I suppose the word is, remission.

I am so ****ing pissed that it got to this point though. THREE doctors (one a renowned GI specialist!) before one of them said, OH you're bleeding from the ass and you are exhibiting systemic inflammation? Maybe we should test your blood and stool. I hate this, but as I left the hospital the first thought that occurred to me was someone needs to get sued. ****ing BS.

Definitely negligent. Are you still on oral antibiotics?

Yep, 10 day course. Cipro.

At least you're on the right treatment now.

I'd definitely take some kind of action. That's some truly horrid work.

Went in for a light day today cause all I've been doing is laying on the couch eating this low residue diet (rice, pasta, bananas, boiled chicken, meatballs, and noodles), and I feel like I huge fatass.

My brother, who is about my height (5'8) and 170 lbs, went for his triple at this weight, so I just used it for my sets. I will post some vids, he's been training for 2 years and I am pretty impressed with him. /end brag

so I neglected to mention this, but my training has obviously changed since the first post I made in this thread. I have become somewhat obsessed with the olympic lifts, and in preparation for Cal Strength, I decided to try one of the programs from Practical Programming for Strength Training (just finished reading it).

I opted for the hormonal fluctuation model cause there was a nifty spreadsheet for it. So far it is kicking my ass, but I am loving it because of all the technique work. I am pretty confident in my clean form, as I can squat clean ~320, but my snatch needs A LOT of work. Just watching lots of cal strength vids and doing lots of oly lifting until my first session with Jon North.

god damn it, I forgot, before the romanian DLs, I also did:

So far it is a pretty hard program and I have not even reached the weeks of maximum intensity (3-4). Beginning of week 2. Also decided I can't be on a deficit for this program, so my hawt body will have to wait.

Also, everything these days is raw and beltless. Also chalkless because I forgot chalk.

I actually missed and bailed on the last one, and bent the **** out of the bar. Fortunately, the people watching were more awed by it than angered, and no one narc'd on me. It's really ****ing tiring when I can't drop the weight between jerks, and it really hurts my left elbow to catch the bar and reset for rep 2. Guess I have to go to a crossfit box... god damn it.
