Staph Infection

I just had my Defibrillator taken out after a year and a half , I got a Staph Infection that almost took my life with a 107 fever . I just wanted to post this up as I am only 50 and this came on me without any warning. I felt sick on a Friday and by Monday I was in the ER with no clue what was wrong . After testing and almost not makeing it through the night I was sent to Columbia in NY City where the Defibrillator had been put in , There I waited from Thursday till Monday when they removed it. I am now home after 2 weeks , went from 173lbs to 154lbs still weak and on IV meds through Picc line till 1st week in June . If you ever feel sick and get a fever don't wait like me go to your Dr and get a blood test right away It could save your life

I hope that you have a good recovery. I never had a fever with my infection. My prayers are with you.
