100K, worse.

No danger of fire/ignition at 100K!

Maybe if potassium is involved?

I took a potassium tablet this morning. I must wonder if my urine is flammable or explosive? It would be quite exciting if my little manhood turned into a flamethrower. o_O

Why did you use the adjective "little"?

If you can withstand the horrid American accent.

I used the term "little" to be truthful. When I was a young man, a bus could drive by and Mr.Happy came to attention. Now that I'm past 60, it takes a lot more to get me excited. A Playboy Bunny could sit in my lap, stick her tongue in my hairy ear and I'd tell her to stop it and go make me a sandwich. I'm in a lot of pain today and had a great deal of trouble getting out of my wheelchair and on to the toilet. Some days I suffer from a lot of pain and some days it's not so bad. That why I'm glad the facilities here at nursing and rehab center are handicapped friendly. ^_^

I too have a horrid American English accent, so sue me. Hell, even there in Jolly Old England you probably think someone from the other side of your country has a horrid English accent. As long as they're not Welsh. o_O

There are plenty Americans in films that sound fine. Not all Americans have a ridiculously strong accent.

And are the nurses hot?

The nurses are wonderful and most of them are Negro Americans. Some of the CNA's,"Certified Nursing Assistants" are a bit off but most of them are great too. I tell my friends that I've been in the shower with more Black women than I have with White women. I've even been in the shower with Gay Black men. Of course they are the CNA's helping me bathe and they do have their clothes on. I have limited range of motion with my arms because of my torn up shoulders so it's wonderful to have someone scrub my back. It's so frustrating to be unable to fully care for myself. I need new or repaired knees and shoulders but the orthopedic surgeon has a concern about the blood circulation in my legs where I had a problem before. I don't know if I'll ever be able to get new knees but I keep hoping I can. ^_^

You sound in a bit of a mess. You'd think by 2016 we'd have a bit more medical knowledge and could fix folk up better.

I have damage to my lower legs due to venous stasis. I have a venous stasis ulcer 4" tall that rings my lower right leg. It starts just above my ankle and there is NO skin, it's raw. I almost died a few years ago when it became septic. I spent 9 days in the ICU and another 7 days in the hospital under observation and on IV antibiotics. When I was released from the hospital, I was sent to a nursing home where I received a 21 day course of IV antibiotics. That was 37 days I spent on IV antibiotics in 2014. When I went home, I had a visiting nurse and/or nurse practitioner who came by home 3 times a week to care for my wound. I also had a nurse's aid who came by to help me bathe and clean up the house. The visiting nurse was given new directions on how to bandage my leg and it was wrong. My leg became infected again and the infection got into my right knee. It swelled so much that it stretched out the ligaments and when the swelling went down, I was in a different nursing home,(this one) where I couldn't walk because my right calf was flopping around bending the wrong way at the knee because there was no support from the stretched out ligaments. I've been here since the end of February 2015. My legs are healing slowly and my right knee has tightened up a bit but I still can't walk more than a few steps unassisted. I get up in my walker some but spend most of my time in a wheelchair. I shall walk again hopefully this year. o_O
