Staffing Staph Stuff

Took the stepson to doctor for a follow-up appointment for his staph infection. Found out that he has the bad kind of staph... that is resistant to antibiotics.

$120 for office visit
$180 for first 2 weeks of the 6 week treatment
$$ Half-day lost from work
Mastercard - the choice of millions of ex-felons to treat their staph infections.

*sigh*

Talked with my wife and we decided that it would probably be better to hide the alcohol until after his treatment is over. If this round of antibiotics do not clear him up, he has to be hospitalized!!
