Mary Ann,

When they did the hernia repair, (2001 when I contracted MRSA) they used
some type of mesh to help strengthen the abdominal wall. The NUMEROUS
cultures that have been done, all come back positive for MRSA. I have
had my nose cultured, but my nose is NOT colonized, nor is any sputum,
however my urine did come back as positive at one time.
