Marshall Jones’ MRSA Story

Today Marshall’s back pain was tremendous. He spent the day writhing around in pain, and dragging around pillows and chairs and positioning himself on them in order to try to relieve the pain. He has been taking all of the pain medication that he can find around here, and it is just not helping much. In all honesty, I was wondering if he was getting addicted to the pain pills that he had received from our doctor to treat a very, very nasty ingrown hair on the back of his neck that he got after we shaved his neck at the end of August. His father gave him some Celebrex this afternoon, and it helped more than anything else had. Marshall got feeling better enough to begin work on our “trash sled,” a sled that we hook up to a 4 wheeler and drag down to the land fill to dispose of trash. Our plan is to tear down the old, worn out sled, scavenge any usable parts from it, and then build a new one. He got the old one torn apart, but that was about it before he started feeling badly again.
