@RetiredEngineer That sounds bad... Staph? What is the treatment plan? Antibiotics? Stay well
@thegoodwife: Thank you! My doc is going to contact an Infectious Disease doctor to get me in ASAP. They gave me a stronger oral antibiotic, but I will probably need a series of antibiotic treatments via IV. Since we didn't hear anything today, it will probably be Monday before we hear anything. They said it's Staph and Citrobacter Kerosi. I had an MRI (with contrast) back in July which showed no bone infection. When my wife and I went to a cottage in Fredericksburg in August for our 38th anniversary, we wrapped the leg and got in the hot tub. When I got out, the bandage was wet, so the wrap had leaked. I suspect that is where the infection came from (either there or the hospital). Just another episode in the past 42 years since my motorcycle accident!Â
