Who knew South Texas would be such a home to virulent infections? MRSA. Methicillin resistant staphylococcus aureus. It’s not like Colorado here. Different infections. Different antibiotics. The wound wasn’t getting any worse, but it wasn’t getting any better either. Today we stepped it up a notch. I’m now on the oral antibiotics. The doctor cut out the mat of dead skin and live bacteria with a scalpel and scissors. I have a quarter sized crater a quarter inch deep in my leg. No skin left there; down to the subcutaneous fat layer. We left with detailed instructions about packing and dressing. If we’re good about following directions, I could be healed up in a month or so.
Had the exit conference for the carry-over job we’ve been trying to finish this week. Good to get that one done. Nice job, Janis.
Cold and rainy today. We were lucky to get such great weather for Matt’s visit. Not much fun for this week’s spring breakers for the first couple days. After that, though, it will be warm and wonderful again.
Louisiana Waterthrush at the edge of our pond. First of the year for us. The start of the migration. He must’ve just landed from a 600 mile flight across the Gulf.
