I Have Mrsa
Okay, so last week I had what I thought was a pimple and it wouldn't pop. Then I thought it was an ingrown hair. And it kept on getting bigger, with barely any pus coming out. I went to a dance workshop from last friday to this Monday. it got even huger and much more painful.
Yesterday I went into first care. They are saying its a boil/abscess and MRSA. Yesterday they put a needle into it. They used some metal things to open up the skin. Popped it (much worse than my mom popping my zitz and pimples, which is saying a lot, lol). I was almost crying it hurt so bad. They they stuffed it and bandaged it. I have pain medicine and I have antibiotics.
I went in today. Some of the stuffing was cut, I was cleaned up and rebandaged. Plus an anti-biotic shot in my behind. Hurt like hell lol I come back tomorrow and might have it pulled out. they told me i'll have a scar (I just wanna get better lol) and I have to wait to be in the clear before I can have knee surgery.
UPDATE
I have healed all up. Dr says I'm better. No more packing. My hole in the jaw has closed up and is scabbing over nicely. I have been told once you get it, you're more likely to have it again. I have a small lump and its purple which should go away in 6 months to one year.
So I can have surgery again.
