this in from Chris:

Not sure how I aquired it. Could have happened to anyone. It started in my lower
abdomen/ groin area and spread to the top of my right leg. I thought it was a ingrown
hair that became infected. Swelling started and would not stop.
It kept getting larger and larger. That's when it spreadsd down to my leg.
It was red , swelling, and spreading. They had to cut two large incisions and
cut out all the bad tissue. They took out filets of flesh out of my leg.
They've left them open and filled them in with gauzes.

We will find out today (Sunday) if more surgery
is required.
