| ER: The Sequel |
| 05.27.06 (12:40 pm) [edit] |

Went back to the ER this morning at 4am. Had been running a fever and Tylenol wasn't helping. Got into the "Blue Zone" this time at 8am. Remarked that I was feeling light-headed (apparently that accelerated the process LOL). While a nurse was deciding about which weekend correlated with a pay period for a trip to Vegas and another one spent time putting sheets on rows of empty gurneys, I sat in "The BLUE ZONE" for another hour - watched a HUGE guy handcuffed to the gurney being brought in but no one had a handcuff key. (Brilliant minds) I was feeling really light-headed and leaned over to put my head between my legs, which popped the blisters on the left side - my shirt and pants were soaked. It was gross. So now I was fevered, lightheaded and nauseated. So if I wake up dead tomorrow from this, someone can take this to a medical malpractice atty and sue the hospital so that my cats will be taken care of in high style... |

"Most localized staph skin infections can be treated by washing the skin with an antibacterial cleanser, applying an antibiotic ointment prescribed by a doctor, and covering the skin with a clean dressing. To keep the infection from spreading, use a towel only once when you clean an area of infected skin, then wash it (or use disposable towels)."
Might be something to do until you can get the dr to do their job.

Thanks for the info nurse Jenni. Actually, been doing that already. I have a lot of autoimmunity issues, so something simple usually ends up being something mongo complicated if not treated aggressively.

I don't know you, just a casual blog voyeur, but I certainly hope you're feeling better! I have a friend who just went through a battle with a staph infection which almost ended with him losing his arm if not his life. Lucky for him he pulled through. He's a bassist so that arm was his livelihood. I had told him repeatedly not to get a tattoo in our hometown, no one ever listens to me though! LOL! Anyhow, he learned the hard way that staph is nothing to mess with! Get well soon girl!

Thanks for the well wishes. Fortunately, not tattoos for me. They stil look hideous - left messages for my doc this morning... Hoping she'll get back with me soon.

Oh, my goodness, Scoobs! Is there only one hospital in your area? The one you have sounds like a nightmare of stratospheric proportions.... and the blister thing just sounds gross and uncomfortable. I hurt and feel nauseous on your behalf. Someone get this girl seen, STAT!

It's even worse now. I've been running a fever since last Friday, despite taking Tylenol. It's gross and oozy and my BP is way down. Going back again tomorrow... My doctor hasn't returned my calls from Tues, Weds, or today. GRRRRRRRR
