How Greg Acquired MRSA
Greg had always been an active person, and while playing soccer with some of his friends in the spring of 2016, he tore his anterior cruciate ligament (ACL) in his right knee. Greg got into contact with one of the players, which resulted in him making sidestepping maneuvers because of the pain he was experiencing.

The kids enjoyed the outdoor pool with their mother and they seemed to have so much fun playing water games. As the family was enjoying the pool games Greg was undergoing his recovery training by visiting the hotel's fitness studio where he could perform his recommended exercises. After the ACL surgery, Greg had been advised that there is a possibility of the knee swelling and they could be a buildup of excess fluid around the knee joint. These are things he started to notice when they were on vacation and he did not pay much attention to them because the swelling was not interfering with his walking or activities. There was some mild infection on his skin that looked like boils. No one paid much attention to this and it was assumed it was due to too much exposure to the sun.
After returning home from the long weekend. Greg started experiencing what he could only define as suspicious things. The swelling on his knee would increase with each passing day (Carpenter…
