Last month i got insanely sick and had temperatures as high as 104.5 and was consistently in the 102-104 range for weeks. At first i thought i had the flu, but it ends up i had an infection in my blood stream from a r bacteria finding it's way into my blood. I forget the name of it right now.

It was brutal stuff though, i never felt close to being that sick in my life before that infection. I ached everywhere, had terrible headaches, couldn't sleep decently, was dehydrated constantly, and the smell of food gave me the dry heaves. Like Finley, after going home i had to get intravenous IV's for two weeks.

I learned a real lesson about how serious and dangerous stuff these bad kinds of infections can be. I've never felt so miserable for so long.

Staph damn near killed Lecharles Bentley, ended his career. The most common issue coming back is an inability to gain back the weight lost, it really saps the muscle strength. If he doesn't try to hurry back he should be fine but that might mean missing next summer too.

I know he tweeted the other day about eating some pizza and junk food, I think it was Mike Neal who tweeted back to him to keep off the junk food and Finley responded that he couldn't currently life weights so was basically eating crap to keep his weight up.
