Trying To Not Loose A Leg

[meQal]

Hey all. The last few days I've been laid up in the hospital due to a severe staph infection over my left knee. The problem is it's a nasty one that won't go away. I got home today and will be on IV antibiotics for at least 4 weeks to try to clear it up. If however this does not work, I have been informed by the doctors treating me for this that they will have to amputate my left leg above the knee. So for now it's a wait and see thing.

Oh, my goodness.

Well, I hope you get fully recovered and the antibiotics work !

Best wishes, MeQal.

Hang in their kiddo! You'll be OK! Think positive thoughts!

Just keep thinking about how you're gonna kick the doctors with that leg after it's healed.  That's how I beat cancer. (Along those lines anyway.)

Pure positive vibes.

I'll keep you in my thoughts and prayers.

Best wishes here as well.

Jeez!  I hope you get better soon!  Good job going to the doctor and getting it checked out though.

[Derf]

Good luck with the meds. You'll be in my thoughts and prayers also.

That's a bummer. Is it MRSA, or just a generic Staph? MRSA is a mofo, I've seen it at work a few times. Either way, I hope you kick it's ass and get better (pun intended).
