Day 3 in hospital
 
Such a pain. I'm not allowed to leave my bed because "I could fall". They also check my vitals Every 2 hours. I have a constant NaCl drip, vitamins, bp medication, and librium. I also tested positive for MRSA. What a hell this is.

Eww. Sorry to hear this news. Are you detoxing?

:grouphug:

Ya I'm detoxing. It's easy to do in a medical setting. It's the MRSA I'm worried about. I don't have an infection, but I do have a colony in my nose.

Dee74 09-11-2014 01:31 AM

Hope you avoid any complications GC :)

Hang in there!! :)

I just have to put an antibiotic cream up my nose for 5 days for the MRSA. All is well.

MRSA is a microbe that causes various infections, including the staph infection.
Methicillin-resistant staphylococcus aureus I believe, cuz it's now resistant to penicillin and it's derivatives.

Hope it gets resolved. Best wishes. :)

A nasal mrsa infection is nothing to sneeze at.

Sorry, I couldn't help myself. :lmao

You made the right decision and are doing the right thing, GreenColor. Wishing you a speedy recovery.

Anna 09-11-2014 11:04 AM

I hope you feel well, get through the detox and beat the MRSA. :)

zjw 09-11-2014 11:30 AM

Yep stay on top of the MRSA that one can be tough to get rid of.

RecklessEric 09-11-2014 12:09 PM

Sounds rough.
But hang in there.
You've 3 days down, almost over the worst of the detox.

I know little about MRSA.
Hope it clears up soon.

GreenColor 09-12-2014 09:36 PM

Dee74 09-12-2014 09:46 PM

Glad you're back home :)

I don't know, but It sure won't be AA.

Dee74 09-12-2014 09:57 PM

I think a plan is pretty essential...but what form that plan takes is up to you :)
Read around and post...see what other people are doing, maybe?

RecklessEric 09-13-2014 04:54 AM

I don't care for AA either, but I would suggest that doing nothing is a bad idea.
I use this site so I can read and think about my sobriety.
In the past, I just assumed everything was fine but didn't think about my problem with drink.
So I became complacent.
And that led to trouble.

Did you get any suggestions or resources from the doctors? Id suggest starting a list of the things you CAN do rather than the ones you won't do.

From my experience, if I didn't have a rock solid plan, I was right back to where I was. And damn, never want to go through that again. Ever.

Good luck to you. You never have to go back. Remember that.
