After a hurricane scare and unplanned 4 day weekend, I'm ready to get back on a somewhat regular schedule. However, I don't know how normal it's going to be due to my leg infection. It is massive and painful, and I've been on antibiotics for three and a half days and have seen no signs of improvement. I've been doing online research about MRSA infections, and now I'm freaking out a little bit. What I have looks just like the sores in the picture and I have the symptoms. Luckily I don't have the symptoms of a systemic infection. I would be in the ER if that were the case. Anyway, I'm going to see if I can get an appointment with the student health center tomorrow and hopefully they can run a culture and test it against antibiotics to determine what will kill this thing. If not, I'll just stop being so cheap and pay my $25 co-pay at a minor emergency center.
It's so frustraing because I just want to get back into my routine of school, exercise, work, and home time with the girls. But I don't think I'll be able to exercise with this sore on my leg, and frankly, I'm a little hesitant to go to the gym again. If it is staph, then I'm sure I picked it up at the school fitness center. Which really sucks because I love going to the gym. I haven't been in 5 days now, and I can see and feel the effects.
I just want things to go back to normal...

Get that checked out today, whether anything else gets done or not. The fact that it's bigger instead of smaller is VERY worrisome! Call me and let me know what you find out please.
Go TODAY!!
Don't wait. Please.
Wow that is seriously so so scary. Don't mess with MRSA. Is that what it is? I really hope that everything works out and that you can fight this infection off. I will keep you in my prayers!! I wish I was closer and could help you somehow! Yikes!
