The infusion center had 3 nurses there in case I lost it since their team leader told me what he said. No need in ever fussing at a nurse, they do what the orders say and try to make the patient comfortable and safe and I know every one of there professionals from previous care, they are the best. I know MRSA is a forever thing. Known that since 2006 when I contracted it.

I do appreciate your info and input, he has me on 30 minute infusions from the pump every 6 hours around the clock, no charge for the nausea and vomiting. He didn't use the 4 hour infusion I had those with another antibiotic a few years ago in hospital. Last spring it was vancomyicin with 2 infusions of 1-1/2 hour 12 hours apart. I just really hate the pumps and wearing them after having to wear one on 2010 for 6 months 24 hours a day for TPN. Thanks anyway, and I'll remember your info.

Actually, I just want to ride with the beautiful weather we are having. It is driving me crazy.
