My Life With Staph Infection (short Bio)
Some of you may already know, and some of you may not, But I have been living with my past Two year Struggling with the deadly virus known as Staph Infection. Though I only had MSSA, unlike MRSA which is more drug resistant, it’s just as bad. It was February 2006 when I was first diagnosed with Staph infection. I had just had a back surgery for hunched back in January and had been home for a week. I did not know what is was. I was oozing out infection and I had a high fever and very sick to my stomach. I went to the Emergence Room. I did not know what would happen if I hadn’t gone to the hospital. I was stuck on machines for a week. Little did I know, the infection never went a way for the year that I was being treated. In my school year of 2006-2007 I was constantly sick. I was in such pain as I walked through out the school. After graduation in mid July, I found a big lump on my back. The rods in my back from the surgery had let lose from the infection and cause a huge puss ball to form. I spent my most of summer in the hospital. I went though all the surgeries I had gone through the first time. This second time around I had been more informed about what was going on. I have been recently told that no longer have Staph in my blood and soon will be going through a week of blood tests off the medication to see if my body is ready to stop taking the medication. I recently heard on the news that my high school had MRSA through out the school and still able to catch a staph infection again, I’m constantly worried that I will get MSSA or MRSA once again. I want to be an active person but the more I find out about Staph, the more I get concerned.
