What a wonderful week I've had!!!!!

Started last Tuesday feeling like crap after work, never saw Wednesday, Thursday start the day feeling better until I noticed a slight rash and swelling in my lefy foot.
As the day proceeds it keeps on moving. After a day of more crap I head to the Dr. and find I have cellulitis on my whole lower left leg.
Foot swells up like a balloon if I don't keep it elevated, making my leg look twice as big.
Got antibiotics, instructions and a follow up appt this Friday.

I only hope that it starts swinging in my favor quickly, as I have next week off and I do not want to be bed ridden (or couch bound) for a week!!!!

I've had that a few times, but never as bad. Once was from a spider bite, it was spreading like crazy. Cipro knocked it out fast.

My uncle had a bad case of it back during the winter. Put him in the hospital for about a week. Pretty nasty stuff.

Conservatism is not about leaving people behind. Conservatism is about empowering people to catch up, to give them tools at their disposal that make it possible for them to access all the hope, all the promise, all the opportunity that America offers. - Marco Rubio
