“This is my brother he had MRSA in his right elbow, last year. He was in the
hospital for 2 weeks and remembers none of it. He almost lost his arm!!! but
luckilly didn’t!!! He had a wound vac. and ended up having a skin graph done,
with skin taken from his inner thigh. It is still not comptley closed up and it
happend over a year ago! It was a very painful and slow process but we are just thankful he still has his arm. Any more questions let me know. Thankyou!!!”

LOL@Skin Graph

MRSA is a bitch. Glad he pulled through. It must have been very difficult to wait it out during treatment.

Is he still being monitored at this point?

About 5 years ago I had my knee scoped. A week later I got MRSA in my knee. I spent 5 days in the hospital and then wore a pump which pumped oxicillin into my system for 28 days. The night I went to the hospital I was told if I had waited til morning I would have lost my leg at a minimum. I feel for him!!

I hope he heals well

Horrible truth is, if a body didn’t have M.R.S.A. when admitted to hosp. theres a good chance it will when it leaves. Hosps. and L.T.C. facilities are ate up with it. I’ve had active x2 and constantly exposed d/to nature of the job. Skin grafts are a process, young healthy people usually tolerate well. Wound looks clean,with good blood flow. I’ll bet he’ll do wonderfully. What in the world happened to him?

dang this looks bad… hope it turned out well for him.

This makes me cringe! The thought of your innards being open to the outside is AAA!!!
How did he lose that much skin!?

ew. just ew.

How is it not “sight material”?????
