Recently, my foot was infected with 2 different strains of staph and 2 other bacteria. Had to have a toe amputated because of it. Thought I was going to lose half of my foot. Ten days in the hospital and 35 days in a Health & Rehab getting 5 antibiotic IVs per day. Even at that, I was very fortunate but learned a hard lesson. Infections are nothing to mess around with.
Not many survive a staph infection. It has to be caught early and bombarded with antibiotics. My BinLaw got one while in the hospital. Most do not realize hospitals are the most likely place to get a staph!
