Radar Hospitalized...stubbornly refuses to croak
I have been flat on my back since Sunday evening. I had a MRSA infection. It is a medicine-resistant strain of Staph that it highly dangerous if left unchecked. I was in danger of possibly losing my leg. My doctor under-diagnosed the infection and I merrily took my meds and ignored the leg while it became swollen, blistered, red as a lobster and covered with open sores, thinking the meds would fix it. Then I got so sick I got delerious for awhile and finally realized that my wife's admonition to go to the hospital was correct. Then came multiple bags of IV antibiotics. Now I have arrived home on bedrest only because I am a good salesman and convinced the infection specialist that my wife would make a great nurse and taking the oral version of the meds now with her care and supervision would be sufficient. One of the meds costs sixty bucks a pop, can you believe it? One pill, sisty bucks...man.
Anyway, looks like lots of comments have been made in my absence. I am putting energy into making this post and frankly I am still pretty whipped. Got up at the crack of noon. Will be on bedrest all the rest of the week at least. May be a day or two before I take on answering the comments on the last couple of posts, kindly have mercy on me for that, trying to get healthy and right now any energy goes into doing a bit of work (I work via email and phone, primarily) to keep the roof over the head...feed the Bulldog, as they say.
