When I woke up this morning, I woke up to one unappealing sight. Over the weekend, and as late as yesterday around Noon, I thought I just had a normal pimple on my leg. However around 2pm yesterday, I realized I may have a boil (staph infection) on its merry way to me. While I was sleeping last night the area of my leg was very painful and burned. I woke up this morning only to find a most gross lesion from where the boil broken open during the night and left a bloody pus mess in my bed. This "bump" is now the size of a softball and continually oozes this thick dark red pus. I have to get to Dr. Sherwat today so I can have him lance it and make it better.
I just returned from Georgetown University Hospital and seeing Dr. Sherwat regarding this staph infection. He wanted to put me in the hospital to give me IV antibiotics. This scared me. I have to return on Friday and see how it is responding to the oral antibiotic he reluctantly prescribed. Prior to seeing Dr. Sherwat, I seen Dr. Romeo Roda; Romeo, that was an euonym if I ever seen one! So much, I just about forgot what I was there for!
