Well, after 10 days in the hospital I am finally home.
The doctors never did definitively figure out what bacteria was responsible. They took over a dozen cultures but could never get anything to grow. Based on the damage to my left leg (from the knee down) they think it was most likely a staphylococcus aureus (staph) infection. Luckily the antibiotics did their job and I will get out of this with two working legs and only some nasty scars as a souvenir.
There was only one complication during my treatment: Last Thursday I was within 15 minute of leaving the hospital when I developed a moderately severe allergic reaction to one of the antibiotics they had been giving me for seven days (Vancomycin). I am currently covered from head to toes in a nice red rash and have a fever that comes and goes. This could continue for up to several weeks. Joy.
I am glad this happened before I left the hospital as they were sending me home with a I.V. pump and 16 bags of Vancomycin for 8 days of home treatment. As things stand now they switched me to another antibiotic that's available in pill form and have added steroids to help with the rash.
I am planning on spending the rest of this weekend sleeping as I am very weak. If you NEED to call (seneschal business that can't wait), please do so. If you just want to call to say hi, please wait until later next week.
See you at populace meeting (if all goes well).
P.S.: I have 1,400 e-mails to sort through.
