My foot's being troublesome again. I'm not all the way out of the woods with that abscess yet; although the outside opening has mostly closed, I got a gush of pus out of the inside again today while I was changing the dressing. I'm back on azithromycin, and I need to start doing the iodoform packing again when I dress it (and force it really deep inside, this time). The lab report on the culture finally came back; it's staph, but not a resistant strain.
If two more weeks of this regimen doesn't clear it up, Dr. Ciccinelli is going to send me to an infectious-diseases specialist to get it sorted out.
