MRSA

I recently found out that I have a case of MRSA.

A staph infection.

Very painful.

Very contagious.

Very disgusting.

This is now a part of my wardrobe. The prize possesion of a child under the age of six. The forever loved Band-Aid. Or in my case ... a sheild. Kamyn says it best. "Boo-boo-band-aid!" All one word, said really fast. He's cute.

Behind the band-aid ... not so cute.

This was taken on the 4th day.

It started as what I thought to be a really sensitive pimple. Left it be. The next day it was bigger. Almost doubled in size. Continued to enlarge until Monday I believe. The open sore started on day two. A pin-point dot, now a hole.

This is day five.

As you can see it is open. Draining. Not much at a time. It doesn't ooze all day, just mainly when I clean it.

I'm taking a very strong antibiotic twice a day. I clean it three times a day. After cleaning I apply an antibiotic cream on the sore and in my nostrils. I feel I am on the upside of things now. Taking very good care of it.
