I was going to call my Dr.today about this infected cyst on my neck ;but it hurt so bad,it was giving me a headache,so I went to the hospital instead...GOOD THING I DID;in spite of the ordeal awaiting me...
The good Dr. took one look at that thing and said"GOOD GRIEF;STEVE-THAT THING HAS TO COME OFF OF THERE-NOW!!!";and he proceeded to tell me how most cases of this are a STAPH infection...He said its all around us-But;let it enter thru a cut or some other wound;and LOOK OUT...THEN:He told me"Steve;Im going to shoot it up with numbing as best I can;but I gotta tell ya-ITS GONNA HURT ANYWAY"...I said go for it.He numbed it up,THEN PROCEEDED TO CUT OUT A 1-1/2"WIDE BY 1 INCH DEEP PIECE OF FLESH TO DRAIN THAT THING......
:sad:Im not ashamed to tell you all I cried like a baby;it hurt that bad-like it wasnt numbed at all...He said he got it all,and he put some packing in it that has to be taken out by my regular Dr.tomorrow,then dressed up.He kept telling me"Im sorry,but that had to be done"....After I semi-recovered;I thanked him for being a life-saver...I am no stranger to staph infections-Back in '87;I injured my right knee;and got staph in there;and it got in my blood....I spent 10 days in the hospital after knee surgery having antibiotics pumped into me-They told me after I recovered;I had less than a 50/50 chance of surviving that staph;and less than 24 hours to live if the meds didnt work.ANYWAY:Thanks for the prayers-and;also give a prayer of thanks to our medical profession-AMEN!!!
