My Family

[Drunk Monk]

Must be costing a fortune. Sorry to hear.

[Greg]

I've just been informed my mother has Covid pneumonia.

[Dr. Ivor Yeti]

I've just been informed my mother has Covid pneumonia.

Sorry...?

[King Bob]

Yeah, I wasn't sure on the correct response to that one either.

[Drunk Monk]

The prudent play is to be consolatory because one time will be the last time and then where will we be? 

Hoping for the best.

[Greg]

My response is odd as well so I completely understand.

Word from the hospital is she has just straight Covid, not Covid pneumonia. I am waiting on my update from my sister.

[King Bob]

Well that's some good medical news.

[Greg]

Back to pneumonia. It's hard to get information. She also has.....Sepsis. She probably won't be released tomorrow.

[Drunk Monk]

Well that’s some bad medical news.

Still hoping for the best.

[Greg]

I didn't like what I read about sepsis. We shall see.

[King Bob]

Sepsis? Where? Hiow? I thought that was usually associated with a perforated bowel or something. You can get that with pneumonia?

[Dr. Ivor Yeti]

She's not mobile in her day-to-day life, so staph from ingrown hair on her leg, "bed-sore", and the like can really get outta control. My older brother had staff infection on his leg that went septic. Almost lost the leg.
I was in hospital for 3 days with a staph infection inside my thumb. No sepsis, but only cuz of fast response. Sepsis is easier to get than you think

[Drunk Monk]

Sepsis can result from a variety of precursors. When I came back with cellulitis from my ‘96 Shaolin trip, sepsis was a possible outcome if I hadn’t been treated quickly.

[Greg]

There are myriad problems floating around in my mother. She had infection earlier, probably UTI, that had two different types of bacteria. I think one of them was really hard to treat. So here we are.

[Drunk Monk]

How is your sister doing through all this?
