I can arm wrestle you any time in the next week...after that I am hoping that your shoulder is pure bionic! Suffer the pain my man, it takes pain to make improvement with that part of the body...

Our prayers are with Dawn...

I'm real glad Ken is doing well after surgery. I do wish for Dawn to come out of this feeling brand new. My prayers are with Ken and his loved ones.

wow... glad the last 56 hours are over with... shoulder feels great this morning...and i got 4 straight hours of sleep.:rock:
I apologize to those that I tried to talk to yesterday afternoon.... i was well medicated...and probably was not making much sense.

Dawn is not so fortunate.... they have been doing a series of tests. One such test is to remove her white blood cells...then "tag" them via radiation.... Re-introduce the white blood calls into her. Then get a series of computerized tomography (CT) scans of the spinal column...where the infection is...the tagged white blood cells will congregate in concentration where the brunt of the infection is.

We just got the results of the biopsy.... and we now know that the infection were dealing with is MRSA....


Methicilllin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus (MRSA) infection is caused by staphylococcus aureus bacteria — often called "staph." Decades ago, a strain of staph emerged in hospitals that was resistant to the broad-spectrum antibiotics commonly used to treat it. Dubbed methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus (MRSA), it was one of the first germs to outwit all but the most powerful drugs.

Staph bacteria are normally found on the skin or in the nose of about one-third of the population. If you have staph on your skin or in your nose but aren't sick, you are said to be "colonized" but not infected with MRSA. Healthy people can be colonized with MRSA and have no ill effects, however, they can pass the germ to others.

Staph bacteria are generally harmless unless they enter the body through a cut or other wound, and even then they often cause only minor skin problems in healthy people. But in older adults and people who are ill or have weakened immune systems, ordinary staph infections can cause serious illness called methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus or MRSA.

In the 1990s, a type of MRSA began showing up in the wider community. Today, that form of staph, known as community-associated MRSA, or CA-MRSA, is responsible for many serious skin and soft tissue infections and for a serious form of pneumonia. When not treated properly, MRSA infection can be fatal.

Vancomycin is one of the few antibiotics still effective against hospital strains of MRSA infection, although the drug is no longer effective in every case. Several drugs continue to work against CA-MRSA, but CA-MRSA is a rapidly evolving bacterium, and it may be a matter of time before it, too, becomes resistant to most antibiotics.



I am really worried about her guy's.... she has already been on Vancomycin...and since it's use still developed MRSA. :hmpf: :banghead: :(
 
That MRSA Stuff is nasty! Sorry to hear about this latest round of bad luck! I will say some extra prayers for her recovery! Let me know if you need anything Ken!
Glad that your shoulder feels better! Keep your chin up friend, things will get better!!
 
MRSA used to strike fear into our souls when I was a hospital administrator...what hospital is she at Ken?

Ken glad you are out of surgery and feeling some reliefe already! I hope now that you know what you're dealing with that Dawn makes a turn for the better. Hang in there bud and don't forget to get a refil of those perks before the 21st!
