His Battle with a Community Acquired MRSA (CA-MRSA) Infection and Septicemia
The first part of February has been a blur. My surgery went well, the recovery went well, it was a relatively painless process. And I am left much more aware of my mortality than before. I guess I am no longer 18 and immortal. Oh well.
Marshall is doing well, it probably did him good to be the caretaker again for the first time in awhile. He says I am a much worse patient than he is, I am sure that he is right. He is getting outside more, we have taken a few walks through the pasture lately, and he is not getting short of breath or faint anymore. I am so glad the Minocycline seems to be working without giving him any horrid side effects.
Dr. Daftarian started him on Lexapro, as he did not think that the Zoloft was doing much for him. She said it would also stimulate his appetite. Good! He still weighs about 204, and is just frail looking–every pair of pants he owns will fall to his ankles if not cinched tight with a belt. She also started him on Allegra, thinking that his headaches might be allergy related. I hope that works for him! This is getting to be my Allegra time of the year as well.
My precious hubby sent me flowers for Valentine’s day. He is the dearest man ever.
