Yup, it looks like I am in trouble

[Guest guest]

Saw the ear doc yesterday. He can no longer see the pledgets at

all. All looks covered by granulated tissue and everywhere he

touched started bleeding. He thinks it may be infected, too. Said

this is beyond him and recommended a surgeon in Honolulu who takes

Medicaid. Good thing, too, because I absolutely cannot afford

another trip to California, have already begged and borrowed every

last cent possible for the first two trips. All of this over a

simple mistake. My surgery ran two or three hours over the

estimated time and by the time I got out of recovery there had been

a shift change and I didn't get the prescription for Cipro drops I

should have had. Saw my primary doc today and he concurred with

what the ear doc saw. Waiting for an appt. with the Honolulu

surgeon. Makes me feel like crying; this has been going on for a

year. But then I read some of the stories in here and they make

mine look like a piece of cake. Oh yeah, got home from the drug

store with my bag of assorted drugs (I have a bunch of medical

problems) and too late discovered the ear drops were not in there,

and I am OUT of them. Got plenty of pain pills though. Sometimes I

feel like the victim of a cosmic joke. Anybody else have an MRSA

staph in their ear and if so, have you been able to get rid of it?

I have lost track of how many antibiotics I've had over the last

year and nothing touches it. It was supposed to have all been cut

out, now it looks like it's back; feels like it, too.

I had a staph infection, doctor put some medicated yellow powder (sorry dont recall the name of the stuff) in his office and prescribed antibiotics. I got rid of the infection, no problems...knock on wood. sharralin <cheralin@...> wrote: Saw the ear doc yesterday. He can no longer see the pledgets at all.
