Staph Infection
When will it end? The pain keeps me up all night, has me screaming throughout the day. I am crying as I write this. I called the Dr's office today to see about getting some Percocet, but they were closed due to weather conditions. J's friend said he could get me some Oxy's for $80 a piece, no thanks. I'm a Perc girl, and I need them *NOW*! I started the antibiotics on Friday, and now the infection has actually spread, not gotten better. I've read a little bit about staph infections on the internet, and I've learned that there is an anti-biotic resistant strain that is common. I sware to god, if that's what I've got, just shoot me now. I really don't know what to do. I've been taking Excedrin PM's a couple of times a day to put me to sleep so I can escape the pain for a little while, but now they're not even helping. I took some last night and I was still up til 4:30 crying and screaming. The only thing I've found to help relieve the pain a little is heat. I was back up at 8 this morning. J's pulling a double today, 6AM-10PM. I think I'm going to attempt to leave the house today. I have to. I can't stay alone with the kids another day in this much pain. I am afraid to take a shower, though. The last two days when I've gotten out of the bath the pain hits me like a ton of bricks. Maybe a quick shower won't be so bad? I guess I'll find out. I need to keep my mind busy, otherwise it focuses solely on the pain. I will head to J's parents. Maybe I can snoop through their medicine cabinet, lol.
