the #antibiotic I'm on for the #cellulitis is starting to cause me another issue, whether I get an understanding #gp who'll prescribe a capsule I need rather than expect me to apply my own cream; i'll have to wait till tomorrow to find that one out.

Good news, my good lady has been signed off work for a month. A long last she has recognised she has #depression - not helped by another #cellulitis attack. Strong antibiotics - 3 tablets 4 times a day should sort it out properly this time.

It show the difference comparing a hospital treating the issue compared to what the doctors prescribed last time which was less than half the dosage.

Fingers crossed she gets properly sorted out this time.

Cautiously "good" news:

My partner checked the area and redness has gone down. It is swollen but not as red. No streaking. Took my 12th dose of Keflex (40 doses total is the full course). Basically, the point at which I was going to go to the hospital is if there was no positive change in the direction of healing or it got worse.

To go to the hospital, we are looking for signs of worsening such as :

1) Increased redness + increased swelling

2) Red streaks moving outward to new tissue

3) fever

4) disorientation

The reason why it's wait and see at home, has to do with the fact that my immune system has been put to sleep from the Prednisone (why healing from infection has been so slow), and so I can catch a plethora of things at the hospital including COVID.

This could be so so so much worse,

KNOCK ON WOOD.

Please still keep me in your thoughts, I'm not out of the hot water quite yet 🥺

Let's hope for reduced swelling by tomorrow morning 🤞

@fussycoder yes thanks, slow going though. It's kind of removed my last remaining active pastimes from the menu. At least the infection seems to have abated, and the swelling's going down. Still bloody painful though, so I guess it's just the fracture to mend. Infected by my own blood, WTF? #cellulitis

WAITING for ambulance transport, last EIGHT HOURS. Same bullshit, only two ambulance companies in Albuquerque, this one is better of the two.

Am panhypopituitary, super-bad Covid. On "prophylactic antibiotics" for life, plus vancomycin, trying to beat back cellulitis infection in my leg.

Moving around for last two weeks - first thigh, then calf. Then a full leap from left to right. If I'm not septic already, then I'm about to be.

I'll just be here, waiting for help. :-(

I developed a mysterious bout of #cellulitis on my foot three+ weeks ago and I haven’t been able to walk properly or even wear a shoe because my foot swelled up.

I got antibiotics which took care of the inflammation, but my foot is still somewhat swollen and hurts. Podiatrist says it’ll be this way for maybe another month and I’m irrationally upset.

I love to go to car meets on weekends, and I haven’t gone in a month because of this and I’m just getting crankier every day.
