More Information About My Infection

I got the call from my doctor telling me what the infection is exactly. I did some quick research if anyone is interested.

It is called a MRSA Infection. Click the link to read about it on the Mayo Clinic Website

The good news is I no longer have to take two antibiotics, but the bad news is I still take the one that makes me most naseaus, dizzy, and sleepy. Good times, but way better than the alternative.

I have actually heard of that!! That's the one that's like a genius strand of infection that outsmarts all the anti-biotics, right?!
How did you get it?

That is exactly the one. I have no clue how I got it. The doctor said it could have been anywhere. The examples he gave me were; a toilet, a church pew, at the gym, a chair at work. So pretty much anywhere.

The good news is there is an antibiotic that can kill it. The bad news is the side effects are no fun (sleepy all the time, nauseaus, dizzy).

AT least you are almost done with the antibiotic! I am sorry that you got a disease. That sucks!

The church is still true, even if you can get mersa there!! Don't you even start doubting.

I was this close (if you could only see my fingers) to doubting, but now I will keep the faith. DIE MRSA DIE!
