Oh yeah and I have MRSA and it came back again. I got some antibiotics for a chest cold and it took only one day to set it off again after 3 years. I'm not really happy about that because I thought it was gone.

It's come on quick. I only get it on my thighs but as you can imagine it's pretty painful to have an infection rub against your pants all day. To top it off no one can know because technically, it's highly contagious and well, I work in a restaraunt ya know? I'm not worried about giving it to someone really (because I don't touch my thigh during the course of work) but I know it's gonna come to surgery again because of how quick this one came on. It's gonna suck, the last time I didn't act until it was getting into my veins. It was so swollen that antisthetic wouldn't stay in the tissue and they had to do surgery without. Not one of my best memories.

That's kind of worrying me too. I have to put it off as long as possible. To do this side job, to deal with my main job and step up as I'm needed there. To try and repair this relationship if possible. At most I have 6 - 8 weeks with it I'm guessing (just in time for the tourist season to come back, yay!) I don't know what to do.

The treatment is horrible, they have to cut it open and purge it. The last time took over an hour and a half. Lot's of bleeding, pulling out blood clots, it sucks a lot. They pack it with gauze and then you have to go and have it cleaned out daily which feels like having flaming nails shot through your leg. Then there is the antibiotics, always a good time for the intestines. I'm not terribly excited about it. Just find a place for it on the pile though huh?

I probably shouldn't have mentioned this. It's 4am though and I'm grasping at sanity. Few hours though and I've gotta pull myself together to handle today.
