Yeah, Merc...from Sunday night until this morning. Had a stye that turned into orbital cellulitis that then turned into MRSA. Still have to do IV antibiotic treatments every 6 hours at home for the next week. But I'm at home, I'm recovering and I'm incredibly thankful.

MRSA is evil. I see it a few times a year.
Don't screw around with it. Esp with loved ones around you. Hand wash, hand wash, hand wash. |

Oh God that is the most evil tip of the spear. Most cases I have seen are foci in the groin and then work their way up to the chest. Ugly.

Just hooked myself up through my PICC line for my evening dose...
Actually Jinx, I was incredibly worried about that. Fortunately, it never got beyond the soft tissue around my eye. I've been on Vancomycin since Sunday night, but we really didn't start seeing improvement until Wednesday morning. That was when ophthalmology took me over to the eye clinic and gutted all the crap around my eye. After only a few minutes of them pulling shit out, I felt instant relief. By this morning, I could pretty much see fully out of my eye again. |

MRSA in your eye socket? Holy crap. Glad to see the treatment is working. I'm keeping my fingers crossed for your full recovery.

Thanks! Yeah, there was real concern that it would spread behind my eye or get into my brain, but thankfully it stayed pretty localized.

Good. I have seen some bad reactions to Vanc given in less than 40 min. Including hearing loss, kidney damage, and other evil reactions. Hang in there dude. Let the stuff work, stay on schedule. Finish it to the end. Good luck.
