MRSA Bacon
MRSA Bacon
I had a MRSA infection in my side. I thought I caught it early as it was still just a little red bump. When I went in they did an ultrasound of the area, and they found it was rather large. They numbed the area up, cut a tiny opening in my side ripped around inside of me and squeezed out all the fetid chunks of coagulated puss. Then it was flushed it with saline. They stuffed my side with a little sterile gauze ribbon stuff and put a band-aid over it. They told me to come back in 2 days to get it changed.
The next day is was redder and vastly more tender and painful. I went back and they found there was another pocket they had missed. They put me on a vancomycin IV drip, then had a surgeon come in, cut the hole bigger, dig down deeper and get the rest of the infection out. Then he packed it again, but this time there was a LOT of packing. I was told to change it MYSELF twice a day. The next morning I managed to pull the packing out with the cunning use of breathing techniques, but getting it back in was near impossible. They put about 2ft of 1/2in wide ribbon gauze inside me. I did take photos though!
