Kenny's Infection
Ok, 2 weeks ago when we got home from vacation Kenny developed a bad infection in his right knee. He worked all day that Monday (5-1-06) and hurt terribly. After 3 trips to the ER for IV antibiotics he was sent home with oral meds and orders to stay on crutches and off his leg as much as possible. One week later he was cleared to return to work.
Now 5 days after his antibiotics ran out the infection has returned. During another trip to the ER for IV antibiotics the doctor discovered the culture report of the original infection. Of the list of antibiotics that would be available for treatment the infection would be resistant to only one. That is the one they gave him!
So now he's home for tomorrow, with new meds, and another trip to the ER tomorrow. Hopefully this will be the end of this nasty thing!
Here's a look at the knee tonight. The original infection was way more gross!
