I HAVE DEALT WITH MRSA FOR 4 YEARS NOW. I KNOW I HAVE A NEW SORE OF IT RIGHT NOW. A FEW YEARS AGO, A FRIENDS CHILD HAD A SMALL INFECTION OF MRSA AND NOW I AM DOOMED. I HAVE HAD OVER 10 EPISODES WITH MRSA. I WENT TO MY DR. SHORTLY AFTER I WAS DIAGNIOSED WITH MRSA. THE NEXT THING I KNEW I WAS OVER IN THE SURGEONS OFFICE AND HE TOLD ME I HAD 1 HOUR TO GET OVER TO THE SURGERY ROOM. I WAS SCARED YES AND HAVE BEEN EVER SINCE. IT WAS AN OUTPAITENT SURGERY BUT PRETTY MAJOR. THEY WOULD NOT LET ME LEAVE THE HOSPITAL WITH OUT A HOME CARE SERVICE TO COME HELP ME OUT. MY HUSBAND WHO ALWAYS TAKES GOOD CARE OF ME, LEFT THE NEXT MORNING THINKING THE NURSE WOULD BE THERE AT 8:00 AM. WELL SHE NEVER SHOWED UP, SO MY HUBBY CAME HOME TO TAKE MEBACK TO THE SURGEONS OFFICE SO THEY COULD CLEAN IT OUT. WELL COME TO FIND OUT THAT WHAT THEY TOOK ME INTO SURGERY FOR WAS TO REMOVE A 4 INCH DEEP 4 INNCH WIDE AND A 4 INCH LONG OF MRSA OUT OF MY SHOULDER!! TRHE CDC SAID THEY NEVER EVER SEEN ONE THAT BIG OR AS ROCK HARD AS MINE!! I DIDN'T REALIZE, HOW SICK I WAS AT THE TIME. UNTIL IT HEALED.
MY DOCTOR TOLD ME IF I WENT ONE MORE DAY WITHOUT REMOVING THAT STAFF I WOULD HAVE DIED. THEN THEY SENT ME TO A DEASE SPECAILIST, AND HE JUST TOLD ME THAT I WOULD HAVE TO LIVE WITH THIS THE REST OF MY LIFE AND I WILL EVENTUALY DIE FROM THIS. SO I GO ON DAY TO DAY KNOWING I WILL EVENTUALLY DIE FROM MRSA. LET PEOPLE KNOW ITS NOT FUN. AND NOT JUST IN OUR TEENAGERS. MY 2 KIDS KNOW EVERYTIME I GET AN OUTBREAK AND IT SCARES THEM
MY 10 YR. OLD HAD TO TAKE MEDS. BECUASE OF THE "OUT BREAK" OF ME. ITS NOT JUST THE PERSON INFECTED ITS THE WHOLE FAMILY. SO PLEASE PASS THIS ON ..
