I could form the Avengers of infections...

[thistlechaser]

Dear Super Bugs,

Please leave me alone. Go away. Shoo. Most people never have one of you. Now I have a second. Enough.

No love,
Thistle


So, somewhat unsurprisingly, I have MRSA Staph in my infected toe. Luckily there are two antibiotics which work against it, one of which I'm already on. I'm going to see the podiatrist sometime today -- no idea when, they're fitting me in as an emergency.

How many more super bugs do I need before I could form a club?

Gddm! this news.

You've had more than enough of this.

Love, C.

[thistle-chaser.livejournal.com]

I agree! How's the arm doing?

[tersa.livejournal.com]

Given the amount of antibiotics you've been on...yeah, unsurprising its an MRSA. :/

Good luck! And thinking better luck thoughts at you.

[thistle-chaser.livejournal.com]

Thanks! I'll take all the good luck I can get.

Just got over it myself. Four days on vancomycin in the hospital. Daughter had it first. Same treatment for her.

I hope you recover quickly and easily. It is pretty miserable feeling as if your own body has turned on you.

[thistle-chaser.livejournal.com]

Arg, sorry you and your daughter had it as well! I hope I don't end up in the hospital, I've had quite enough of that already.

[ghost-light.livejournal.com]

Holy crap! I hope they can clear it up easily!

[thistle-chaser.livejournal.com]

Me too! And your icon made me smile. :)

[ghost-light.livejournal.com]

I'm glad ;)

[juliansinger.livejournal.com]

Goodness.

Well, uh, at least you're not in the hospital?

[thistle-chaser.livejournal.com]

Heh a big YES to that. I hope very strongly not to be in one again for a long, long time.

[ashmedai.livejournal.com]

Ah no, not good news at all! I'm glad you're on one of the effective antibiotics already, though, and I hope it does its job.

[thistle-chaser.livejournal.com]

Thanks, I do too...

[ani-mama.livejournal.com]

Egads, that blows. You poor thing. I hope this infection goes away quickly. *hugs*

[thistle-chaser.livejournal.com]

Thank you! *hugs back* I hope the same.

[kelen.livejournal.com]

:( No fair!

I'm not really surprised though. Hospital stays, plus long term antibotics, plus totally run down.. means these things happen.

So hope it goes away fast! :( :( Glad you noticed it and didn't wait for it to go away!

[thistle-chaser.livejournal.com]

Yeah. It's not really surprising at all. Sad and annoying, but not surprising.

[changeling72.livejournal.com]

Lordy. It must make walking difficult.

[thistle-chaser.livejournal.com]

Yeah, especially now! Ugh.

[isiscolo.livejournal.com]

It's a bird! It's a plane! It's SUPERBUG!

Good luck.

[thistle-chaser.livejournal.com]

SUPERBUG! Who will save you from NOTHING.

No wonder no one wants to let him into any of the Super Clubs...

[manue7a.livejournal.com]

Oh no! Just..no. :/

[thistle-chaser.livejournal.com]

Yeah. Not what I need!

[spike7451.livejournal.com]

Gosh, you don't seem to catch a break lately.

*hugs* you tight.

[thistle-chaser.livejournal.com]

I know! This whole year needs to start over.

[hamsterwoman]

Ugh, I'm sorry you're having to deal with another infection -- I hope this one goes away much more quickly! *fingers crossed*

[thistle-chaser.livejournal.com]

Thanks! So far, so good! *fingers crossed, too*
