Bushwhacked by a pimple!
Ugh, haven't beene having a good time of it this week so far. Last Thursday/Friday I had a large pimple on my lower back. Didn't think much of it, I popped it and drained a bit and figured that was it. Over Saturday and Sunday though, it started developing into a sore red spot and on Sunday at work I just started feeling sick and getting the chills. Was so tender I had trouble walking. Monday morning it was quite large and I could feel lots of pressure, so I went straight to the clinic across the street when I got up.
Turns out it was a huge staph infection and the doctor numbed and cut it open immediately. It drained A LOT, like a scary amount of crap coming out of my back. Currently, its all cut open and packed full of gauze and taped up. I am do to go back tomorrow and have it looked at, repacked, etc. and they are doing a culture to see if its the MRSA strain of staph, hopefully not.
