Yup...........this is the leg infection I spoke of. Here is the definition: Cellulitis (sel-u-LI-tis) is a potentially serious bacterial infection of your skin. Cellulitis appears as a swollen, red area of skin that feels hot and tender, and it may spread rapidly.
Skin on the face or lower legs is most commonly affected by this infection, though cellulitis can occur on any part of your body. Cellulitis may be superficial — affecting only the surface of your skin — but cellulitis may also affect the tissues underlying your skin and can spread to your lymph nodes and bloodstream.
Left untreated, the spreading bacterial infection may rapidly turn into a life-threatening condition. That's why it's important to recognize the signs and symptoms of cellulitis and to seek immediate medical attention if they occur.
With that said, I am home on bed rest so to speak. Leg elevated and not to do anything. I told the Doc I hadn't sat through the LOTR trilogy in a long time. He said, "sounds like a good time to do it." Part that sucks, gotta eat, drink, and pee................and change DVD's...........I need a sitter. Wish mine was here, but soon I won't be wishing anymore I am told. I look forward to that day. This shit hurts. I am no stranger to pain, back surgery, pinched nerves, and other forms of it..........but this took the cake. Made me growl alot. Cats looked at me like a wounded animal...........they love me. Well, I guess I better elevate that leg again, hope ya'll have a better day than I've been having lately...........and if you ever get this, don't wait 2 days to see a doc, could be bad. I'm glad I got a damn fine immune system. Later All. :D
