mrca?

i had a knot come up on belly tuesday morning and it hurt like the dickens.so i made a trip to see my doctor.lifted up my shirt and she told me to lay back.she then left the room for a few minutes and came back with 2 nurses.i said what is going on here she said she had to cut this blob of infaction out of me.so i tried it without any numbing that did not work she had to give me a couple shot's .then she cut pushed and pryed along with these 2 nurses.well she got some out but not all.i went back yesterday and she pushed some more.got a little more out.sent me home to put hot compress's on it all day and now.i go back up this morning to see if she can get the rest of this out of me.if not more cutting will be needed.i have never been cut on in my life nor had a broken bone in my 51 years.asked how i got this and she said i had to be in contact with some one who has this.i don't go around to many people.it's time find out who this carrier is.for those of you that know about this it's very bad staff infection.she informed me there was lot's of this sorta thing going on every day!hope this is the last day of the doctors office.haven't been out for 3 day's i sure don't want to pass this on to any one.wish me luck.  jim whitis in beardstown,il
