so yeah everyone knows that I have a new name now, so anywho.... my leg is still not healed yet, and it has been over 3 weeks since I was in the hospital getting it cut open, everyone is telling me to go back to the doctor, as it is still looking nasty. I saw my childhood doctor today at Sams Club in Waldorf, and he said that I need to get it checked out soon and fast, he was saying something about MRSA...... Anyway, I maybe going back to the hospital tomorrow to have them open it up again, hopefully they will fully numb it or put me to sleep before they cut it!!!!

If it gets bigger, I'm definately going to a doctor or the hospital. Has anyone seen one like this before, sorry if the pics are blurry, took them from my cell...

I had one too. It has swelled so bad I could hardly walk. I ended up having to go to the er and they lanced it so it could drain. I was on antibiotics for 10 days.
