Q

[notasurgeon]

Consider continuing antibiotics for one week.  Keflex 500mg 4x/day or Duriceff 500 to 1000 mg 2-3x/day would be good.

[MasterDragonfly]

Oh she's on antibiotics alright.

She was on Keflex last time.  Or times, if you include the other stuff in December.  Didn't seem to quell the infection.

She's on Ciprofloxacin (750mg twice daily) this time.  Which is what she ultimately ended up on at some point after the Keflex didn't seem to be doing anything back in December.

That is such great news to hear that she is doing well right now. Can't wait when more time passes and you can say that everything went perfectly and she is all healed and happy.

[reman]

Wonderful news! Best wishes!

Once an infection gets a foothold around a foreign body, the antibiotic choice is pretty moot.  Nothing is likely to eradicate the infection unless the foreign body is removed first.  Ciprofloxin should be fine, but its benefit is a wider spectrum, not its minimum inhibitory concentrations against the staph.

I'm not quite sure what you suggest I/we do then.  The surgery is already 2 days old, the prescription was a done deal like a week ago, and she's recovering quite nicely.  Brilliantly so, I would even go so far as to say.

I think it's fine that she stay with the Cipro, actually.  It really should be good enough as a one week prophylaxis.

The doc took her stitches out yesterday (2 weeks post-op).

For those who haven't been following the programme, the reason for the permanent stitches was to ensure there were no recurring issues like we saw previously.

Prognosis: excellent!  

Zero tenderness, the implant is really making rapid progress to the proper 'dropped' position.

Dang.  And we still owe pics.    Well, they're at least out of the camera now.  I don't think I have time right at the moment to do edits/uploads/posts.

Second time's a charm...

Yay Cherri!

MDF,

Great news.  Please pass along my best wishes to her.  I'm happy she's doing so well.
