[Emily]

This is a personal account by a well-known person describing his battle with a multi-strain bacterial infection. These stories of small cuts becoming life-threatening infections are all too common.

My Microbial Misadventures

My microbial adventures began in late May, 2012. That's when a minor cut on my right foot got infected. The neighborhood urgent care clinic cleaned and dressed the cut, and prescribed antibiotics. Three follow-up visits later, they referred me to the emergency room at nearby Chandler Regional Hospital. That's where I was diagnosed with a virulent multi-strain bacterial infection. For the first week or so, anyone who took the risk of entering my room had to don a disposable mask and gown. Ten days and two surgeries later, I was sent home to recover with a PICC in my arm...

Fortunately, Mr. Nolle reports continued progress in his healing.
