Mum had MRSA (all gone now) :-)

THanks for all the wishes (and PMs), but I'll keep the sheepies; I'll enjoy them more than Mum.

More gnus:

The clinic nurse had to order 'special' anti-biotics for it, which Mum will be getting this morning, and then she's gotta go back to the nurse this afternoon for "...further treatment instructions..."

I've told her to make sure the nurse informs the Queen Vic hospital, but if she doesn't (or forgets), I'll be phoning Mr Lavery's clinic when I get home this afternoon.

With various work problems over the last two weeks (2 out of 4 on leave at the same time, another off sick for over a week after an RTA, leaving just me in the office), the extra workload at home due to Mum's emphysema and now this, I'm really, really looking forward to the London Jolly next Friday.

Shit, that's a bit much.

Best wishes to your mum, and an extra-load of strength to you, PVB.

Jeez, we're all thinking of you and your Mum, Steve, take care and If theres anything I can help you with, just ask.

I'm not really a God type person but I'll be saying a wee prayer for your Mum tonight.

'Interesting' development;

No anti-biotics for the "serious infection" at the moment, just a visit to the wound clinic tomorrow morning.

Had to collect a letter for the clinic from the GP office on Friday; they had a prescription for us as well.

Wound has been re-dressed, but Mum thinks the anti-biotiics are making her feel "...really rough..." so she stopped taking them yesterday.

I'll find out tonight when I get home if she's started taking them again.

Go home and make her Steve. Or at least get her to ring the docs for advice. I know it sounds stupid, but there are drugs that can mitigate the effect of other drugs that are causing problems.

When my mum came out of hospital recently after an operationon her broken wrist, she reacted very badly to the Kapake Ibuprofen she was give by the hospital. Called out the local GP, and he prescribed something to lessen the effect and it worked a treat.

Antibiotics have to be taken regularly.

Yeah, what he said.

Or the MRSA becomes resistant to the new ones too

(what are they using, vancomycin?)

In fairness she probably feels really rough because she's got a bacterial infection. They won't do anything about it unless you ask though...
