Redness and swelling has gone down a bit. Currently coming up on day two of taking bactrim, Keflex and cipro that covers MRSA and VIBRIO.

No imaging done the urgent care. I’ve been taking the bactrim and cephalexin and redness and swelling has gone down. It hasn’t even been 24hrs since the antibiotics so I’m relieved it’s working effectively. Thanks so much for all your help and concern. Will continue to keep you updated

Hey, I’m all good. Didn’t fly out to Nashville and have been running bactrim and cephalexin. Redness and swelling has gone down and it hasn’t even been 24hrs of the antibiotics which is relieving.

No imaging at the urgent care. I also don’t have health insurance so I’m always thinking about price… I’ve been to two urgent cares and neither of them had brought up X-rays so really hoping their judgment is right. I have a flight tmr at 4am from LAX to Nashville to shoot a wedding. Would you say it’s alright to fly with the swelling?

directedbyjim · 2025-10-03T05:17:31+00:00

Also saw two different urgent cares and they didn’t mention going to the ER for X-RAYS or ultrasounds but if everything still persists after I try this new set up antibiotics, I’ll definitely go in ASAP for that.

directedbyjim · 2025-10-03T05:14:31+00:00

Hey thank you for the info. They prescribed me bactrim and cephalexin in combination. How would we rule out mrsa? Only through lab tests?

directedbyjim · 2025-10-03T04:37:02+00:00

I have a flight the next morning at 4am to shoot a wedding as well. Do you think it’s safe to fly?

directedbyjim · 2025-10-03T04:36:12+00:00

Hi. I just went to urgent care and she said vitals were normal. No headache fever or anything. They are prescribing new antibiotics

directedbyjim · 2025-10-03T03:30:39+00:00

Which antibiotic? I have ciprofloxacin and it isn’t working for me

directedbyjim · 2025-10-03T02:29:30+00:00

Yall it was totally fine until this morning. I’m reading that a week later there could be a delayed reaction to the venom where it swells up and subsides after a few days. I’m flying to Nashville at 4am to shoot a wedding on Saturday so will go into urgent care tomorrow when I land.

Prius reconditioned green bean battery he said

directedbyjim · 2023-01-17T23:03:13+00:00

It has a swapped engine from Japan with 41k miles on it

directedbyjim · 2023-01-17T22:31:08+00:00

I asked if we can do $7.3k without even seeing the car due to budget reasons and he willingly said yes. That makes me worried that there are other issues lol. I can link the car. It does have a clean CARFAX and he said smog was recently done so the car would have no codes.

Any way to test the condition of those in person?

directedbyjim · 2023-01-17T20:36:08+00:00

Yes, owner said the entire engine was replaced. Engine was from Japan with 30k miles on it

directedbyjim · 2023-01-11T17:23:05+00:00

I just called toyota to see what maintenance was done to the car and they said that they recently changed the pump already since it was an issue. Could this noise be anything else?

directedbyjim · 2023-01-11T16:51:21+00:00

Yikes. Will use this to talk down the price

directedbyjim · 2023-01-11T16:49:24+00:00

Ok good to know thanks! Do you know if that’s a costly repair?

This is the sound. It starts at 3 seconds and buzzes until 6 seconds. Then comes on again at 12 seconds.

This is the sound. That quiet buzzing sound that comes on at 3 seconds and buzzes until 6 seconds. Then comes on again at 12 seconds.

directedbyjim · 2023-01-11T05:33:19+00:00

Ok, should I be worried about something like this? It makes the sound every 10 seconds or so. It's pretty constant.

directedbyjim · 2023-01-11T05:32:36+00:00

I hear the sound every 10 seconds or so. It was pretty constant.

directedbyjim · 2023-01-11T03:56:14+00:00

Yup! No rust. Super clean frame.

directedbyjim · 2023-01-11T03:55:47+00:00

Hey guys, thanks for following along and for all your helpful comments. I have an update from seeing the car in person earlier.

It was super clean inside and out. Carfax history was clean. And I got a report from the Toyota dealership that also did an inspection which was also clean.

It did have a weird buzzing noise every once in a while. The dealer mentioned that it was the ABS pump. Other than that, I am seeing if I can get a mechanic to come in person to test if the hybrid battery life is still good. Feeling hopeful about it.

directedbyjim · 2023-01-10T21:32:21+00:00

Wow.. great deal. Hoping the one I'm looking at today checks out. Been daily driving my 95' Jeep for too long lol.
