As you might have found, if you have explored my goings-on, I am deeply involved in the “cause” of informing the public about the dangers of MRSA, and helping MRSA patients find relevant information (see my site, MRSA Resources for more info…).

Today my mission is to contact some people in my community that might be interested in Tony doing a speaking engagement with them while he is here to interview Marshall for his documentary of his US visit. He is driving way down here to central Texas from NYC, and I surely do want to make his visit worthwhile! That is a HUGE drive!

Tony is a former financial advisor, from the UK, who acquired MRSA from the hospital following two consectutive hip replacement surgeries. He has been left on crutches, and is lucky to be alive. He is the chairperson of the MRSA Support victims advocacy group in the UK. Every time I meet somone who has fallen victim to this horrid bacteria, it once again makes me so very thankful that my husband has been spared (so far, anyway) of any crippling repercussions from his illness.

I am going to call: Dr. Daftarian (who I hope will appear with Marshall in the documentary), BVCAA Health Clinic, Dr. Lemos (Infectious Disease), and the Texas A&M Health and Science Center in the School of Medicine. This is NOT my forte– I have emailed Tony’s group, MRSA Support, this morning, to see if he has a CV available that might give me a little more confidence in this area! I think I best call Denise as well, I bet she has all of the info I might need…….
