BJJ/MMA Staph Infection Gone Wrong 😫 WARNING! ⚠️ Short Version
Long story short: I had a tiny tiny wound, super tiny, tinier than a penny. Could have been an ingrown hair, insect bite. I felt a tiny irritation one evening, invited over to friends and family on a celebration, after a while I had gradual difficulties to walk around from kitchen to living room etc. Got worst within 2-3 days, but because I've never had this kind of life experience before I waited I out. Didn't want to stop training either and loose out on time so I covered it, still pretty small wound. My bjj coach had told me earlier about a concept: Everytime you pull guard, it's like if you kill a kitten 😸 You always want to be in a dominant position, "street mind" But what did I do that training? I pulled guard, this guy stepped on my foot. Next day I woke up it was swollen all the way up to to knee I was still confused because I was in another country, but within days I was at a hospital. The doctors were angry at me because I had waited it out. They said that they need to stop the swollen ASAP if it continues and reach my heart, I'm dead sad 😔 😟 I was at a very simple hospital over public holidays(As a foreigner I wasn't supposed to be at this hospital but they had pity on me) I didn't have a phone, money at that time somehow, and so many things that I might tell in a podcast one day (If I try remember everything it's still blurry) After 5 days once they squeezed out all pus I started miraculous get much better, I tried to be optimistic and it mattered somehow. Conclusion: What A Life Experience, some of us do really still have to learn the way.
