Hi Tawn:

Are you sure it wasn't a MRSA infection? It stands for Methicillin Resistant Staphylococcus Aureus. It is a type of staph infection that is not killed by penicillin-types.
The really bad part about them is that they can hang around in or on your body and reoccur later.

I went and rechecked the discharge paperwork.

Under Hospital Course, it states "CULTURES FROM INITIAL PROCEDURES GREW MSSA"

Now if subsequent cultures grew something else, it wasn't annotated in the paperwork.

Tawn, glad you're home. At least you know it was a Staph infection. With you or the sidelines for 4-6 weeks, maybe John and I can catch some fish. I saw you potential Diamond Jim in the Bay Weekly with Capt. Shawn (like he had anything to do with it) We mates never get credit
