August 5Aug 5 It looks like it is going to be nice today but very windy.Sorry, I have not been here for a few days.I got in to see a young lady Doctor yesterday and she got another Doctor in to have a look at my left leg which has been swollen for a couple of months now and he is actually my own Doctor who i have not seen for years lolHe told the young Doctor to put me on a course of water tablets to see if that brings down the swelling and he wants to see me next week again to see if the water tablets have helped.If not i might have t go for a scan to rule blood clotsnout.I was also given a months supply of antibiotics to get rid of my Cellulitis . I have to take two antibiotics four times a day. I will be rattling soon lolI am meeting my friends at lunchtime today and we will have a meal. It will be nice to see them all again as i think ihave missed going out twice with them.

August 6Aug 6 Hello everyone, Have a good day.I enjoyed my meal yesterday and seeing my friends again but was anxious to get home as i had to take antibiotics . We were out a longer than usual and i also got cold as they put the aircon on and i wasn sitting right under it . we usually sit at the same table as there are 8 of us now so i will sit at the other side the next time and see if that will be better.I slept in this morning and i think it is because i had to take more painkillers than i normally do.I had four and usually just take one. to ease the pain in my leg with having the Cellulitis. It wasn nipping a lot yesterday. I have not had any painkillers so far today so hopefrully the Cellulitis is on it's way out.

You must have needed your sleep to sleep in. Hopefully the Cellulitis is finally going. sounds like the antibiotics are working.

It's a horrible, painful condition and I wish you a speedy recovery!

Have they ever had to put you on IV antibiotics because of a resistance buildup? They've done that to me a couple of times, even put me on at home infusion treatments before with a PICC line. It's not fun, but it's better than staying in the hospital, lol. It worked quite well, got the infection cleared out and kept it gone for a while that time. I hope the antibiotics work for you and you get the infection cleared quickly!
