Spoke too soon...

Had to go back to the dr. office, the infection that I had on the leg is now on the wound and we are trying hard to keep it OUT of the wound... the cut is closed so it is more of a surface infection, but the nurse warned me that my skin on the wound is paper thin and if it gets into the wound we could be looking at a slight problem. SO, I'm back on antibiotics again.

I had that allergic reaction to the adhesives, which somehow turned into a staph infection (which I'm still trying to figure out how I got that since I keep it covered ALL the time, keep it clean and slathered with either silver ointment or antibiotic ointment) and so they think that the staph infection that was AROUND the wound never quite got eliminated from the last batch of antibioitcs and now it has located itself on the wound.

I will have to update after I have my next appt. which I will be making AFTER the antibiotics are all gone and I feel the infection is 100% gone. I am having a lot more pain/swelling in my ankle, so while the wound may be healing, there is a chance we might have another issue to deal with later. Hoping that whatever I'm experiencing is temporary.
