Saying HI and checking in

Post by braukasper »

Hi Guys!! Still alive. Been pretty sick the last 8 weeks. Some how managed to get a blood infection with one of the flesh eating bacteria!! Two weeks in the hospital followed by 6 weeks of IV antibiotics. Worst part was no beer!!! Work is nuts, looks like another record busting season.

You do! It's like riding a bike, only if you mess up you still get beer, instead of road rash!

Sorry to hear about the blood infection, that sounds terrifying! Glad you're over it and looking forward to hearing about your first brew back.

That does sound scary - glad you are over it.

I'm betting you'll fall back into the brewing routine pretty quickly once you start.

Good luck to you. Brewing will heal what ails ya and if not, the product will make sure you don't care.

Seriously, STAY WELL!
