Re: MRSA Infection in Right Leg
Thats wonderful you were able to get rid of it. My wife had it for 4 years, contracted it from a very well known hospital here in Phoenix when they did a biopsy on her leg/calf area related to cellulitis...She was hospitalized 44 times her stays averaged 2 weeks at a time, she also had a number of pic lines with at home iv antibiotics because oral didnt work...The MERSA finally effected her brain causing a series of small strokes, a heart valve and her kidneys shut down, after a long battle with this shit she finally died one night in the living room, our 12 daughter found her when she got up to get ready for school...this stuff is NO JOKE (not that anyone wasn't taking it seriously)

Re: MRSA Infection in Right Leg
That's awful.  All this makes me nervous as my father has recently contracted staph, most likely from wearing a catheter for several weeks. I hope it doesn't get this bad! |

Re: MRSA Infection in Right Leg
It seems that cases of MSRA are on the rise, my uncle died from contracting it during surgery. A year fighting it while in the hospital and it still got him. Nasty stuff.

Re: MRSA Infection in Right Leg
Sorry I have been out of the loop. I have no loss of function in the leg at all. It is discolored as hell and looks like my shins have been beat with a baseball bat but they work just fine.
