Staph Take IV

Staph, it seems to be the bain of my existence!

In April 2015 - my original foot rebuild was complicated by a staph infection.
Eight weeks of IV antibiotics and I was in the clear.

In June 2015 - leg rebuild brought another staph infection.
Another ten weeks on an IV and I was free again to be off antibiotics.

October 2015 - a "pop" in my big toe brought a sudden onset of incurable staph.
Two amputations and no further sign of staph.

That is, until last Monday, when my body failed yet again.
High fever, massive swelling, pumped full of drugs - and it did not work.

Yesterday, I was in Infectious Disease, again.
Leg was so swollen it was at the rupture point (think meat bomb if hit!).
Put back on antibiotics.
Leg milked like I was a cow of a "viscous fluid" of unknown origin.

So tomorrow, it seems we will know if I have a lymph failure, joint failure, or???/?


yeah down for another week - now three in a row!
and the pain from the exploratory surgery is unimaginable ...
