Good to see ya back yorkie.

I had surgery and had a room mate with a serious illness.

Being on the post surg nothing phases me meds I remember NOW that once really nice nurse for some reason was scooting around on the floor to do something and she did this more than one shift as in a few times she was on caring for us.

Looking back I think MRSA ALERT MRSA ALERT.

Good to be back. Thank you. ;-)

When I got to the hosp. to see my dad, there were signs everywhere - to wear mask and gloves, and sanitize before leaving room.

The nurse told me they had originally thought that MRSA had invaded the cancer on his back - but tests proved that it was not the ‘superbug’. I still had to glove up, until the CDC confirmed the results. (I think he said the CDC.)

So, they are being extremely cautious, at his hospital in AZ.

(Glad you didn’t get MRSA - thanks to a diligent nurse!)
