Caught the Bug

Methcillin-resistant staph aureus - aka MRSA. Yep. Got it. It cropped up on the sixth day of my second honeymoon and has been plaguing me ever since. I've been off work since it was cultured on the 17th. Two courses of antibiotics, a rather painfully botched attempt to lance the abscess, and two weeks later, it's still hard, swollen and occasionally painful.
