That truly is a FML moment.

I work with nosocomial-infection specimens all day, so it's not surprising. Just sucks.
That's damned unlucky! Although vancomycin-resistant MRSA is starting to spread...I got MRSA working in health care. You now have to watch herself, especially when run from another illness or when stressed. And lucky for me I am allergic to vacomyacin (not sure how to spell). The one drug that works the best on it.
Damn. So far, I've been lucky...my first infection resolved with antibiotics, and the doctor was damned amazed that it didn't develop into septicemia.Luckily when I got it again a few months ago, it wasn't as bad, I caught it early because I knew what to look for.
The first time I got it, I ended up going to the hospital four times, and having to stay one night when it was at it's worse. My whole thigh at one point was red, and the whole inner part of my thigh was hard with infection. They had to put a wic in it, when it started to drain. That part was the worst, the wic fell out one day, and I had to put in myself. My mom had been doing it, but I was alone when it happened. I could see what seemed like two inches into my leg and the infection. Worst part about it all, it was on the inner thigh, so I had to walk like I crapped my pants.

This time, I knew what to look for, and so went in right away. Hopefully that will spare me some hospital visits. I can't afford, both monetarily and time-wise, to be an inpatient.
P.S. I'm in a "damn" mood, huh?
I always sterilize myself before attempting such endeavors...
...for some reason, I have a small fascination with minor self-surgery.
