Thanks for everyone who posted. I didn't do it for sympathy but to make everyone aware that we have to be careful where were spend so much time at the hospitals because this is where those infections usually come from. My husband got his 37 years ago from a VA hospital where he spent 9 months and will never get rid of it. It does show its nasty head in the form of abscesses in his leg (his injury from Vietnam). He has been since May 30th trying to get one healed up (spent 5 days in hospital) and probably will go back into the O.R. tomorrow for another cleaning and stitching of a huge tunnel that has not closed in. Knowledge is powerful and if this can save someone's life its worth posting. Sending you all back a hug. Sandy
