Shad, is it MRSA staph? one of My buddies had an experience with that last summer, at first it was mis-diagnosed as a brown recluse spider bite. Not a fun thing to deal with. Hang in there, and good luck to You and Ryder.
Hello Shad, you're not off the radar yet. Good to see your post on here even if it isn't particularly good news for you. You just stay with it and get yourself healthy, I, like everyone else here, is pulling for you and yours.
Oh, by the way, make sure you get plenty of those great hospital vittles, Oops, did I say that. Just trying to lighten things up a bit, seriously, take care of yourself and get well soon. Best regards, Allan
