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?

Dee74

I dunno Green Color...sounds like the best place to be for now, man?

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

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.

Soberwolf

A nasal mrsa infection is nothing to sneeze at.

Sorry, I couldn't help myself.

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

Anna

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

zjw

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

RecklessEric

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

I'm back home and "feelin' fine"

Dee74

Glad you're back home
where to now with staying sober GC?

GreenColor

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

Dee74

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

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.
