RT by @physorg_com: Researchers develop novel combination therapy for treating #vancomycin-resistant bacteria @ScienceAdvances https://www.science.org/doi/10.1126/sciadv.add9280 https://medicalxpress.com/news/2023-03-combination-therapy-vancomycin-resistant-bacteria.html

Oh neat! A print-out of a spreadsheet my mom made (or maybe the hospital prepared it for us? I dunno) when administering a slew of antibiotics through my central line back in 2004. I had broken my left arm (compound, open fracture of radius and ulna) from falling off a roof (after trying to jump onto it from a fence; what can I say, 14-year-old me was dumb). I developed a bone infection necessitating #Meropenum and #Vancomycin through the central line along with #Lactobacillus and #Nystatin orally via... tablets? I think? Also not sure if Lactobacillus is a medication, or the type of bacteria the med was combating... I also got some #Vicodin at some point it looks like, for pain.

In any event. I was a sick kid that kept his parents busy. This was right as high school was starting too.

I can also see/remember that I had to take #Benadryl to counter-act Red Man Syndrome from the Vancomycin. Yeah. It was tough staying awake in class for a while. To say nothing of the wound care I had to go to multiple times a week right before school.
