Thanks @KayTheCurler. I’m rather annoyed about it.

That is the North arm of Kootenay lake looking S towards Idaho.Water + Mountains apparently = Good Feng Shui, or so I have been told. Nice picture.
I agree. We will learn our lesson, particularly when antibiotic resistant bacteria become more and more common; the hard way, as usual, for humans, I'm afraid. I'm no Suzy Homemaker, but I do have a tendency to have the odd open minor wound due to my skin issues. I am extraordinarily careful of this situation.We seem to get a bit too relaxed now there are antibiotics etc. to treat infections. I hear too often about post surgery infections. How does that even happen? Careless cleaning of the wounds? Sloppy wound care after surgery?
We never knew what caused mine either but, yeah, they had to remove the staples and keep me in on an IV antibiotic for a couple days. Then I had a nurse coming for wound care for a while. Never realized I would eventually end up working in home care (at the time, I was just starting my first career as a librarian) but I sure appreciated it.I would love to know what caused the infection but the doctor said…It just happens sometimes. The infection is in a very specific spot, deep so not surface. I’m now going for wound care daily and I’m taking the painkillers I initially didn’t need. I’ve gone from long outdoor walks post surgery to barely able to walk from living room to kitchen. The doctor yanked the staples out yesterday as one would rip staples out of a booklet. I didn’t swear…just made faces. I have to admit…I was depressed about this whole setback yesterday but I’m determined that today will be better.
