Tim went into the hospital on December 26th. All we thought was he had a couple of tears in the ligaments in his left knee. After draining water off the knee they found bacteria. The next day they diagnosed Tim with MRSA and flushed his knee with saline. The infectious disease doctor said he'll be on antibiotics for at least a month. The other night I became a Facebooker and last night while playing a game I noticed an ad regarding Levaquin and tears. So I decided to google Levaquin and discovered it is something that should not be taken if you have joint problems. And what was the last antibiotic he had taken? Yes, it was Levaquin at a higher dose than he's ever taken before. Tim is really good at looking up the meds he takes, he may not have looked up this one since it's an antibiotic that he's had before. It really makes you think that you should be real careful with the drugs you take.
My back has been hurting really bad so I finally went to urgent care. I spent 4 hrs there and really didn't find out a whole lot. I was told to take Ibuprofen and got prescription for an MRI if it gets to a point that I cannot stand it or that the pain goes down my leg. Yesterday it was much better and today I've got some pain again. Guess it's just a way to tell me I need to slow down a bit. Thankfully Mitch doesn't work today so I can get him to help me and maybe even pamper me? He bought me such a wonderful gift, actually more than one, but the one he brought home last night was Mary Kay Satin Hands pkg. I took a photo and once I find the card reader I'll post how it was packaged. What a cute idea!
Guess that's enough for now! Hope everyone has a fabulous rest of the week. Happy New Year, may 2010 bring you lots of good health and happiness!
