Back from visiting The Parentals.
I left NOLA two weeks ago with three itchy bug bites.
I now have about 16 staph-infected bug bites. And an ear infection.
Went to one of those quickie E.R. clinics yesterday. The doc took a culture and gave me some antibiotics.
So. . .four pills a day for 10 days.
Joy.

ReplyDeleteThanks, Brian!
DeleteMRSA often looks like infected big bites. Glad a culture was taken. Hope all is better soon.
ReplyDeleteDon't know if it's MRSA yet. The bites seem to be clearing up, so it looks like the Clindamycin will suffice.
DeleteIf they'd thought it was MRSA they probably would have given you Bactrim, though I think Clindamycin works, too. Glad they are clearing up. Never go to Utah - the mosquitoes there are deadly vicious! Not as many as LA/MS, but the bites swell up to the size of a silver dollar on "non-allergic" people!
DeleteThe clindamycin was for the bites and the ear infection (non-staph). Remember: the mosquito is the LA state bird.
DeleteEar infections are my Achilles heel. Much prayer for you, dear Father.
ReplyDeleteThanks . . .bugs are my Achilles heel. Allergic and a southerner living in the bayou. Oy!

DeleteNo matter your policies or desires, I can't believe that Pope Francis is not driving you to tear your hair out. Apologizing to Pentecostals for demon-possessed Catholics standing in their way? The guy's a pontifical trainwreck.
ReplyDeleteWhere did he say that?
DeleteDo you mean this quote? "I am the pastor of Catholics, and I ask your forgiveness for those Catholic brothers and sisters who didn't know and were tempted by the devil." If so, he's hardly claiming that the Catholics doing the persecuting were possessed.
