I kept thinking it would be best to just stay in the hospital, and get the thing killed. But, one of the team surgeons told me that "there are so many mega strains IN the hostpital (because they've killed all the little ones), they try and get their people out and back home asap". MRSA is everywhere, now; and, we have such weak immune systems from sedentary, unhealthy living - there is cause for concern. |
I'm soo sorry to hear that. We got to talking about it in my Elem School Science class today, and I was like holy cow! There is nothing they can do about it is my understanding. I haven't had time to do much research about it yet though. I'm glad your ok, thats terrible.
A girl next to me had her son sent home from daycare with hand foot and mouth disease or whatever.... She could be contagious and didn't tell me until today, she's known for a week. I was pissed!
