The timing couldn't have been any worse. I'm a musician and had a gig that evening. Despite the pain, I pushed through the performance, although I don’t know how.
The doctor started drawing horizontal lines on my thigh. If the scratches reach these lines, you're at risk of amputation. I felt helpless and terrified.
They put me on three types of antibiotics. They knew my leg was infected, but they weren't sure what by, and hoped one would work.
Suddenly scratch marks appeared on my leg, travelling upwards. I hadn't touched it, and was horrified to see them appear out of nowhere.
