MRSA Me!

For those of you that asked - I'm much better - Ta!
For those of you that didn't - Plllltttt!

Way back in January my neighbour shot me (OK, it wasn't deliberate and it was 'only a .22 and it did hit me in one of my least vital, most padded spots)
However, it did hurt like blazes and following a return home, the wound got infected.
Back to hospital and a round of A-Bs and - nothing. .
I got worse.
I had contracted one of the infamous MRSA viruses.
This stuff is no picnic let me tell ya.
Its taken several weeks and numerous rounds of nuclear-option medicines that were almost worse than the infection just to hobble home.

It's quite scary really that something so small as a bacterium can cause you so much pain and suffering and even scarier that we may run out of options for these infections within 20 - 25 years!

Anyway, hope you all have had clear skies and neighbours who can shoot strait!
