Strangely, I never really got hurt much playing football but I got a tennis ball in the eye that scared me and really hurt, plus when bending down to retrieve a ball near the net my female opponent tried to just bop me on the head with the raquet net and missed slicing my scalp bloody with the side stitches. All I was doing was a bit of taunting.

ROFL sounds like Happy Gilmore but on a tennis court. Must not have been much fun for you but sounds hilarious!

Ever heard of mrsa--drug resistant staph infection. Hospitals are a common place to get them.

MRSA: Experts Answer Your Questions

I "hope" (for lack of a better word) that this is only a common, treatable, serious infection and not MRSA. The last report I heard on the ESPNR (I know, I know) said that it was more serious and required immediate attention. It's a leap to conclude that it might be MRSA but my wife dealt with the effects of it after her last C-section and it can be wicked stuff. The infection showed up two weeks after she was released and feeling great. It took her a month to recover from the after-effects of the infection which sapped her of her strength.

Our thoughts are with TB as he recovers from these surgeries.

It's nasty. Looking back and knowing what we do now I'm amazed at how haphazard the hospital staff that was treating my wife. She was isolated and the door posted. Masks, scrubbing and gloves required before entering and exiting, equipment (stethoscopes, thermometer, blood pressure equipement, etc.) was supposed to stay in that room and used only on her. Within 2 days of her being there, equipment started leaving, masks and gloves weren't always used. It's no wonder to me that there's a MRSA outbreak in the hospitals.

I don't want to scare anybody but I was recently reading about someone with an infection after knee surgery that hurt so bad for so many years that finally he had his leg amputated.

I'm not a pessimist typically but you can bet that I'm worried.

Did he have million's of $$'s and team of doctors and medical experts on both the East and West coast looking at his medical records/charts and conferring on a daily basis about what needs to be done next?

Just wondering.

I understand your concern.

Well, since his father was a multi-millionaire, I assume he had good medical care, but then again, maybe not. Check this out:

So, Depardieu had knee surgery. And then... Guillaume Depardieu, actor son of Gerard, dies at 37 | Film | guardian.co.uk

That's sad.

The dealio here is that Tom's Knee is damn near the property of the New England Patriots, so with that in mind Tom can have surgery anywhere in the world that he wants to have surgery, but there has to be an agreement with the club on the Doctor - and of course the club and the doc's will then share in all info regarding his knee in regards to Surgery/Rehab and follow up.

I guess what I'm saying is this, while that's a sad story - I'm willing to bet that the daily to weekly prodding that Tom's knee is getting and the sharing of information between experts will keep anything bad from happening and is light years past the exposure that Gerard knee got post surgery.

Ya know? Or am I just pissing in the wind trying to make people feel better about this.
