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. |
That also happened to my husband (R.I.P) ... the hospital has more germs than your home.
I hope you are doing fine now.
I just found this thread.
