Staph....again
Could it be the west coast weather that causes me to have these? The 3 years in Texas, I got some small infections, 2 total. They weren't that bad. I get here to the west coast and now I have an insane staph infection. For those of you that remember the one on my face, this one is bigger! This fucker is huge. And it hurts like a sombitch. Its on my inner right thigh. So walking is a major pain in the ass. This is my 2nd weekend with it, but it is finally draining and getting easier to deal with. Last weekend, I was in soo much pain I could barely walk.
And I don't have medical insurance till May 1st, so no antibods this time around. I think they do help clean up the infected area, cause this time around, it is just bloody and full of puss and taking forever to drain out. I know I am on the downside only cause the pain is less, the swelling is less and the heat from the wound is all but gone.
We asked 1 pharmacist if there was anything over the counter we could take to help heal the wound. He said not really. If I google the problem, I get nothing but articles that suggest I take their medicines. I am sure if I spend more time diggin, I might find something useful, but I really doubt it. I think we might hit up a Whole Foods and talk to their peeps... they usually seem to know a good solution for something.
No pics this time. I know you all are probably dying to see it, but I will spare you all. Its gross, trust me. Shae wanted to vomit. 8) I am pretty sure there are a few of you that would vomit if you did see it. 8)
