WILL THEY CHOP OFF MY LEG

[@sailingg5270]

Alcohol makes antibiotics worthless. Get well soon. Love your video's.

[@mesquitoful]

Amen. I lost a friend who persisted in drinking while being treated for a blood infection caused by a brown recluse spider bite.

[@thisishouston1]

Tough to be an Ole Seadog… USN and a Shellback here… I wish you a speedy recovery… hard to give up the Beer and the Rum…been a follower of your channel for awhile…

[@carlosthebee3527]

"My friends already offered to saw my leg off... in return for beer." 😅🤣😂

[@reallyemptypockets6509]

After 35 years of professional drinking I finally had to give up alcohol 🥃, 3 years now without alcohol, 3 years without gout, cellulitis, lymphedema, hangovers.🎉

[@donaldchipman3864]

Don't forget neuropathy

[@donaldchipman3864]

Or the shakes

[@livinglifegrigg4927]

Just on the journey now.... Can't even have a few drinks without getting gout even with medication soooo out the door for the alcohol and looking forward to it 🎉🎉🎉

[@rodneynichole4785]

Or self imposed Covid

[@jonparker644]

Gout sir

[@JimiJo]

Hey Barry, my Dad got Cellulitis from a cut on his hand gardening, it attacked his knees, he became immobile, he fell getting himself off the toilet and bashed his hand, this became infected he was in North Devon District Hospital for three weeks he got Sepsis and Pneumonia. We managed to get him home last Tuesday and he Died on Saturday. The reason I said he died instead of passed away is that my Dad was police officer and he dealt with death many many and he would tell you that none of them passed away all of them Died. October Last year my Dad was play golf twice a week he was 81 and now he’s dead. Thank you for being my distraction….

[@robertbenjamin7728]

I've been watching since you bought the boat and as much as I would lve to see you complete your round the world trip, I would much rather see you in good health. Watch yourself my friend.

[@richardspilsbury8456]

You can't keep an old seadog down!

[@johnmcenaney5255]

Sending nothing but good wishes and good health

[@timothydevine7064]

Get well soon Barry.

[@daemonlowry4935]

Captain Barry I have been following and admiring your exploits for years and was just released from the hospital suffering from the same malady, please don’t push it to hard, and give yourself time to heal properly….🤞🏻for a speedy recovery.

[@soozanpatten4570]

Blessings Barry..you are loved...please take care Captain 🦄♥️🕊🌈

[@michaelrobinson8915]

Barry, i pray your better much by know...bendiciones...m

[@58dorsett]

I suggest avoiding anything alcoholic while recuperating from cellulitis. Alcohol will nullify the beneficial effects of the antibiotics on the infection, unless you don't mind more trips to the hospital, or having the leg lopped off for real.

[@aintjester5473]

A reminder to others sailing. Warm ,tropical places one needs to practice . Good wound care and hygiene are important for preventing many things . As the climate is just rite for bacteria. It never gets cold enough to kill them. Any little bump ,or scrape can cause an issue. Get well soon!

[@stephenburnage7687]

But, on the positive side, us cruisers have sky high Vitamin D levels, which keeps our immune system well maintained.

[@alcooper944]

Tea tree, oil is very good for coral cuts

[@antonioarroyas7662]

That and a small stock of antibiotics just in case.

[@montyforster3370]

You're a mighty brave dude Barry and me atts off to ya. Take care and don't rush anything. Heralding from the great flatlands of Alberta . Cheers M

[@raymclellan2228]

Know exactly what it's like Barry. Three days in hospital on IV antibiotics. Getting on and off the boat a real mission. A month or so later skin is still flaking off. Most excruciating pain I have ever had. Speedy recovery mate.

[@richardhilbert5893]

Best wishes Barry,glad to see your up and about. You really appreciate the gift of movement when your mobility is in question. Speedy recovery Old Sea Dog.

[@stickysden]

Sorry to hear what is happening to you, Barry. Word of caution. You are not supposed to mix alcohol and antibiotics. I learned that lesson about 30 years ago. It's a no, no! I hope you recover, man! ✌🏽

[@amtha9077]

Certain anti biotics like Bactrin or Cefttaroline don't mix well with alcohol., which is the type of antibiotic used to combat a MRSA infection like Saedog stumbled upon.. You're also supposed to stay out of direct sunlight on those which is not easy when you're in Australia and on a boat.

[@stickysden]

@@amtha9077 - You stated it a lot better than I... 👍🏽✌🏽

[@malteasing]

OMG, my father had recurring cellulitis up to when he passed away a few years ago and he certainly struggled with depression because he was always laid up in bed and the pain was terrible. Your courage to continue to work on your boat with cellulitis is incredible. I am really not sure how you do it. Love your show. Remember without your health you have nothing. Maybe with all the sailing your body needed a rest.

[@okcantbelieveit294]

Been there , done that! Once it’s in the system it can recur at any time! No more wearing shorts etc. Longs only. Don’t bump your legs if you can help it! Check yourself for scratches and apply a disinfecting agent immediately. I’ve had a recurrence five times and each time I’ve traced it back to a scratch, insect bite or similar! I carry dual antibiotics everywhere I go! Except this last time I was touring the UK from NZ and didn’t have them with me. We had just gone into Ireland when it reared its ugly head again. Luckily a doctor consented to see me immediately and gave me a prescription for powerful antibiotics. You need to get and keep them handy!

[@richardmerrills-brown1561]

Having had cellulitis twice you have my utmost sympathy, it’s the only think that put me off work for two weeks. Keep it elevated. Speedy recovery.

[@roadboat9216]

Wow, so sorry. That has to be very difficult. PS. The alcohol doesn’t help healing any. Ouch.

[@Bigfoots777]

Lived close to a WestSail 32 plant once in early 70s on the waterway close to Wilmington NC . Everyone says your crazy, they were based in California . ⛵😁

[@slimmail9280]

Look after yourself Barry….i admire your resilience and cheerfulness in the face of adversity. Cheers to the Seadog 👍

[@dinkcirillo1025]

My friend went thru this he was in his eighties. His leg survived this. But if you ignored it yes you will be in danger. You need to be careful. It comes and goes the rest of your life. Your health comes first.

[@timtrinkaus7072]

Take care of your leg Barry and be safe out there!! Love Magnus and Wendy they are awesome. Magnus can fix anything!! Enjoy!! 🍻🍻🍻

[@cnc75adventures49]

Always a good idea to keep the shaft covered before getting into a bottom job👍👍

[@motoretro1972]

Get well soon. One Captain Ahab is enough.🐳

[@windingroad9678]

Barry get well soon. Hope next episode you are all healed up. The boat looks nice all painted. Take care of yourself.

[@stanleywilliams5343]

Happy to see you are doing better Barry. Please take better care of yourself. At least till you are fully healed.

[@harpandharley]

So glad you and your leg are still friends!

[@SAILINGDIRTYBIRD]

I had same thing happen to my hand.....my fingers grew to Bratwurst sausages....spend couple days with IV bag....glad you survived intact

[@Ash-qd7qw]

Barry, it's not a race. Take care of that leg. Though the pirate look might grab a few more subscribers, probably not worth it. Seriously, take care of yourself...Shady is looking good. Neptune and your adventures aren't going anywhere without you.

[@casparis1]

Good Luck Barry I'm praying you get well soon you old sea dog !!

[@sailorsamperson3345]

All the best Barry. Fair winds and calm seas…

[@loribadgero1035]

I’m glad you didn’t lose your leg, Barry. That looked like a pretty nasty infection, though. Be careful out there!😮

[@HugoPerk]

How badass would you be with a peg leg and a parrot. You’d check off all the cruiser boxes for sure!

[@akalegasea]

Fingers crossed! Even with a wood leg, I´ll keep following you. Well, even with a hook... You´re a resilient dog. All the best.

[@inneshutton3716]

Sore one with the foot, I had gout for a while on and off and that was a nightmare, glad to say all gone now, hope yours gets better as well fingers crossed.

[@jimfisk4474]

Chugging along

[@ChanceAnnie-OldFartAfloa-rd1hk]

Your tenacity and calm in the face of such a malady is beyond admirable. Met a fella in the Caribbean with no legs sailing around the world back the 80’s. His boat was named Sea Legs. So no worries, either way you can still sail Shady! I’ll be praying you keep them both brother.

[@bartofilms]

Glad you got through the rough patch. I've experienced cellulitis in my left leg. It doesn't take much to trigger it, a bruise, or an infected bug bite... especially at our age. Hope you're checking your blood sugar as well, for if you are hyperglycemic, the lymph system that normally drains excess fluid from the limbs can get stuffed up, making things worse. Best Wishes for a full recovery. - John

[@vancguy9204]

Maybe time for a canal boat adventure!

[@JustinSaying]

NEVER GIVE UP BROTHER ✌️

[@davidc6510]

Wow Barry you had a really horrible time. Glad you could have a little fun to help ease the pain of that darn infection. Best wishes mate and thanks for sharing!

[@cz_ww2117]

Barry, I had it on the side of my face and head, straight into the hospital, intravenous antibiotics for 4 days, nothing to mess with. I know your pain, God Bless.

[@jonathanwetherell3609]

Health is everything. My best wishes to you for a speedy and full recovery.

[@boathousejoed1126]

You are a lucky dawg,a dear friend lost the lower part of his leg to that same situation last year.Had to sell off his gorgeous Catboat.

[@pplusbthrust]

The man looks for trouble, gets in trouble, fights his way out of it and then goes looking for some more. Its just what real men do.

[@ironichumorist]

bloody hell thats a good case of cellulitis. i had a bout of it once in my left elbow and, youre right, incredibly painful. i could barely touch anywhere near the infected area. glad to hear you have improved. BTW - if youre in bundeberg, you need to be drinking their excellent rum. love the full keel on that west sail!

[@GUNNER67akaKelt]

Take care, Barry. We want you around for a good long while yet! Though Peg-Leg Perrins has a ring to it! 😉😊

[@martinsams1518]

Hello Barry. I sympathise with you suffering from cellulitis, as you have found out it is extremely painful, I have had it on and off for many years the problem is you only need to break the skin on your leg and it will be back, I usually have with me penicillin so I can take it as soon as the symptoms start. Wishing you all the best

[@lloydbrown9327]

Wow Barry you had a hard battle 😳. Sorry to hear about your misfortunes! But I am happy to see that you have won the battle, so far! Like Forest Gump said...life is like a box of chocolates.......you know the rest. I guess you are past the Solomon Islands, in real time! Safe travels hope you all the best!! From the east coast of Canada 🇨🇦 😎

[@lloydbrown9327]

Forgot to mention....we are having a four day snowstorm here....Gander has 87 cms of snow so far! Next winter I am going south! Stay safe 🙏

A nice , properly varnished hickory peg will do.

[@geezenslaw]

Very good you did not lose your leg... My 'old' CPA (about our age) cleaned his bilge oneday and the next day flesh eating bacteria forced the clinic to remove his leg a few inches below the knee... now he has one of those spring prosthetics... Shaddy is looking good and so do your friends so looking forward to the next: Adventure...! Fair Winds...

Barry, you’ve really been doing it tough! We were so sorry to watch you struggling and hope by now you’re feeling a bit better. We found Jimmy Buffet’s song “Bubbles Up” to be uplifting - hope you enjoy it if you get round to listening to it. All the best! Rod & Lillian

[@rolandtb3]

Your bottom just got a facelift. Hopefully your depth woes are past. Making up for lost time recovering from 3 to 4 weeks of cellulitis. Hanging out with some fellow KZbinrs. Soon back to teas, currys, burger, fish & chips, pizza.

[@merhbass]

Glad you avoided the "Outward Leg." Had Tristan Jones vibes from that intro!

[@happygoose2482]

Goggles Barry... Pirate pegleg is one thing but ya don't need the matching eye patch Buddy. Get well soon shipmate!!

[@jeffgriglack9624]

Sorry to hear about your cellulitis, Barry. My son had this problem when he was about 8. His was on his face, and they were very concerned that it was going to expand to the brain through the eye socket. He spent a week in the hospital on IV antibiotics, and, luckily, they were able to beat it back. Take care of yourself.

[@user-cn3gn6ks8c]

Great job on an old dog still in the hunt, stay cool stay safe stay upright !

[@Dj-tf7od]

Best wishes, if you lost your leg you could have embraced the pirate life, wooden peg leg, hollow and filled with rum, a great outfit with a tremendous looking hat. The cannons and other weaponry might be tricky in todays world ,not impossible but tricky.

[@user-bc7gc5wr3n]

Really beautiful portrait of your family!! Love to Tina!

[@paulwyand6204]

Be careful one of my best friends from college was hospitalized for cellulitis, and his leg gave out getting out of bed, and he fell breaking his skull, leading to a coma. They disconnected life support a few weeks ago.

[@johnryan2193]

Barry, the most painful thing about cellulitis ismhaving to stop drinking till the blood clears out the acid .
