Olivia Kerstetter spent last week in the hospital with a cellulitis staph infection. What started with a cut on her knee turned into swelling that turned into “fever, chills, sweats, lots of pain, and even more swelling.”
Kerstetter was admitted into the hospital for the next five days as they monitored the situation to make sure the infection did not spread to her bloodstream or knee joint.
What started all of this was a cut on her knee. Combine that with, as Kerstetter puts it, wearing dirty knee sleeves over an abrasion and apparently you have a recipe for disaster.
The good news is that Kerstetter is out of the hospital and is back in the gym after 10 days away.Â
