So, James has been dealing with some MRSA issues for several months now. He has gotten cut open on several occasions, and endured painful treatments. Last week he went to see an infectious disease doctor, and they put BOTH OF US on a crazy regiment to see if James can't get rid of it. So for 7 days we have a "takedown" plan in place...
1. Twice daily we must use Q-tips to swab the inside of our noses with Mupirocin.
2. Use a VERY strong mouthwash once per day
3. While taking a shower, we first use Hibiclens to wash our entire body. Then, we must stand there for 15 minutes with it on.
4. While waiting the 15 minutes, we have to mix some Hibiclens with our shampoo, and again, stand around for 15 minutes...
5. After the 15 minute period is over, we have to rewash everything with moisturizing soap because the Hibiclens completely dries your skin out
What does one do in the shower for 15 minutes while waiting for the Hibiclens to do it's magic you ask?
Well, since we have a glass shower door, I often draw pictures on the foggy glass... Tonite's masterpiece included footprints going from the bottom of the glass door to the top, using my hands. I can remember in Elementary school using the side of my hand to make footprints on the chalkboard. Lame, I know.
Needless to say, it has not been fun! However, if this will help my hubby get better, than I am all for it.
