A funny thing happened last week. I went to work and felt like I had tied one on the night before. I mean I felt like a terrible hangover. However, I hadn't had anything to drink. It kept up so I left work early with what I considered flu-like symptoms. I'd had a flu shot just two weeks prior, and I thought, "Oh, crap, here we go again!" That night, I had fever and chills, felt like crap, and just figured I better settle in for the long haul. A couple days later I notice my ankle is red and sore. Then the next day, redness is spreading up my leg - and I knew. Oh crap, it's back! Apparently all the scratches on my legs from working the brush, and working until I needed Tylenol to even move around the house, brought Mr. Cellulitis back again. I guess I can't let my defenses down like that. Anyway, a few hours in the ER and an IV of antibiotics, and I avoided a week-long hospital stay, and they sent me home with some oral antibiotics. I went in before my white blood count got out of control. I'm doing pretty well, but I can't get released to go back to work until I see the doctor on Tuesday. Hopefully, by then the antibiotics will have done their job. So, crap, crap, crap! Two steps forward, one step back. So, just in case any of you was thinking I was backsliding - well, this is just as good an excuse as any. Hope everyone has a great week. Toodles!
