I just got off the phone with my doctor.
The bad news: The infection I developed on my foot tested as MRSA. Ugh.
The good news: Having strong reactions to the antibiotics to which MRSA is typically resistant, he had prescribed for me an antibiotic that has already cleared up the infection. I have half the script to go, but seriously, the wounds is all dried out and closed up and no pain what-so-ever. He was happy to hear that. This particular antibiotic doesn’t have any screens run to show its effectiveness against MRSA, but when I described the wound to him, he felt no need to change course at this point…
The stuff is Cephalexin. The brand name is Keflex.
Of course, in using the power of the interwebs, I read that Keflex shouldn’t be able to treat MRSA, so I put a call back in to my docotr to make this thing is getting blasted away.
Dammit.
So much for that bubble of mine.
