[QUOTE]Originally posted by Jason Abbadon: [QB] I feel for ya: I've had the Staph infection a few times (in the wound on my leg only) and it was pretty bad. Vanco is not too bad- small I.V. bag every four hours? You got the infuser machine pumping it into you? I been [i]there[/i] a few times. On the bright side, at least your doc did not stick you on Cipro: I was on an I.V. drip of it for a week and I literally excreted it through my pores, unine, etc- a harsh sickening chemical smell. Even your sense of smell is affected. Takes about a week to clear after you're off it. Now, if I get an infection, it's Cipro (750 mg- enough to freak my pharmacist!) but only via pills. I have to use sterile gloves, tongue depressors etc, and not ever change dressing in my bathroom (though it's clean, it's a looong way from sterile). Thank God for good insurance! How are you taking I.V. nutrition? Do you have an IV shunt in your arm or something (I had the "webshooter" version in my wrist mostly- less painful than the forearm). Hopefully you're home (hospitals- even the really good ones like Cedars) are no fun. I'm glad you've got Jen there for you- I find that even flirting with women inproves my well-being drasticly. Glad you're in "fighting spirit"- that's imporntant before surgery. When you going in for that? We should make you some horribly embarassing "get well" geek gift and have it sent to you. Personally, I'm in a Coboy Bebop "Whatever Happens- happens" frame of mind lately. Works. [/QB][/QUOTE]
