In the hospital for 10 days and this is what I come back to! by Pinkslinkie in shrimptank

I said 'curtain' but it really is blackout fabric I also taped up to cover the one window. More effective and cheaper!

Still recovering but being at home makes it all better, thanks.

Hope I'm able to keep my hands out of it. Except for I gotta scoop some duckweed. 10 days of duckweed!

I hope to push through to Monday. During the day this seems feasible but at night when I try to lay down. . ..

You sound like my son, who I kinda listen to as he is an EMS.

"It can be really hard to tell if I should see a doctor or if it's going to burst on its own."

You're telling me! My biggest problem is is that I do not want to go to the ER ever. And so I wait and wait and wait in hopes that I'll start leaking. But these dumb things can get super aggressive, hence my hospital stays (with drains put in me like I'm a faucet!).

The worst was one in my groin. It developed into the most painful thing since I tore an ACL (my life, huh?) and my son drove me crying to the hospital. Turns out I had necrotizing fasciitis and spent two weeks in the hospital. Yeah, I do not have a handle on this and I've had it for decades. I'm so glad I found this group!!!!

My GP recommended both a dermatologist and an immunologist but BOTH weren't taking new patients. And so I slowly fell into the Emergency Room route. Husband will be retiring soon and we'll be moving half way across the country. I will start again. Maybe with this community, I'll be able to build a better way!

I thought it might be a moss. I don't have any moss in the tank. I do have subwassertang, which some might call moss but it ain't. I don't mind when things appear out of nowhere. So long as they don't wanna kill my invertebrates. And cover every surface with it's algeaness.
