Dear Barb,
Hugs and wishing I could send you something to help you feel better.... hmmnnm, my new little puppy Alice Mary, a 5 month old crapzhu poo mutt would like to try, she just rolled in and ate something REALLY NASTY and thought she didn't need an emergency bath at all! But she doesn't have any manners yet.... Just had a taste of blue raspberry flavored vodka.. maybe that. (I don't often drink and thought I could REALLY develop a fondness for this stuff). How about a comforter made out of clouds??, them hospital sheets are like sandpaper, it might take me awhile to collect enough of them, though.........just know that where you are is where you need to be today. I know what it is to try and wait out being sick until I feel better.....and then being mad because I don't. I did the home IV antibiotic deal, too, and aren't those ports a blessing in a nasty disquise? Tried to faint twice while they put mine in, and it's tough to pass out while you are laying with your head tipped down! 
and I really, really, wanted to. (pass out that is). I had staph, too, anerobic and aerobic staph sachryliticus, and strep, and needed 3 different antibiotics. Try and keep your nutrition up, the antibiotics will take a toll on your poor tummy. I found it helped to eat 4-6 snacks to keep something in my stomach so I didn't feel so queezy, (how do you speel queezy??) You have to take one day at a time, tomorrow will worry about itself...tomorrow.
