Marshall Jones’ MRSA Story

Marshall’s appointment went well. Dr. Daftarian wants him to go see a pain specialist, as she is now worried about his becoming addicted to pain meds. She started him on Zoloft, she says that along with the antidepressant effect, it can have some pain relieving effects as well. We will see. We hate going to new doctors, we wish she would just totally take care of us! She also prescribed Clonadine for when his heart rate jumps up.

At the end of his appointment, I told her to look at my nose. She looked at it and told me to wait a couple of weeks and see what it does. I told her (almost bursting into tears!) that I have already waited a week and a half, it has grown from a pinpoint to the size of a pencil eraser (but flat), and that either she will cut it off, or I will, and will bring it back to her in a baggie. I have plenty of scalpels down in the barn to take care of it with. So she did. LOL Even if it is nothing (I know it is something…it is growing too fast) I feel better to have it off of my face.
