Ringer needed two surgeries for elbow infection

My father had this same exact infection and had to have the suction machine attached to him for 2 months.

I think we should cut the guy so we can sign someone, cause if his is anything like my dad's, he's going to be stuck to the pump for weeks and weeks, not good when you play football.

 

This is common in boot camp, and it is generally noted as a disease for those who do not take care of themselves in terms of hygiene. It always struck me as odd when people get it, who are not exposed to really unhygienic settings.

But the people who I know who have gotten it, they were out of few days without having to get surgery, I could very well imagine that he will be out a few weeks. I am actually sort of upset that he is having to get surgery. As it is typically pretty painful and obvious something is wrong.

 

It's not a major surgery though, it's like a 30 minute procedure.

What sucks is that pump thing. Without that the infection could spread, and so he'll be stuck carrying that thing around for weeks, maybe months depending how sever it is.

 

at least it didn't happen to a good player

 

You'd be surprised at how medical advancement can impact recovery time in even a short timeframe. I know i get surprised.

 

It sucks for him, but I feel like its not much of a loss. Im excited to see harper and Reynaud get more opportunities, hopefully the O-Line will wake up and we can get the run game going.

 

My brother smokes weed with homeless people, and he had it first, so tease my brother who makes Vince Young look like a Rhode Scholar.
