Sorry, been rather out of it lately
Aug. 19th, 2009 08:43 amAnd while I've managed the odd Facebook status update, I haven't been up to writing anything longer, so LJ gets missed. OK. Today, for now, I seem to be awake enough to Google Big Medical Words (by my standards: I have a blockage on the subject) and find out more details of what's been (and still is) wrong.
"Cellulitis".
Otherwise known as "why is my leg going red?" "why is the red spreading from ankle to knee?" "should it really be going grey?" and "why aren't the tablets doing anything?"
Google led me straight to Wikipedia, and the article there tells me everything I wanted to know, and confirms what I think I've already been told by assorted doctors, nurses, and the hospital.

The picture, incidentally, is of a MUCH milder case than mine.
( messy details under here )
Ah well, on the mend now. Been very doped out from several days of IV antibiotics, and high dosage tablets after that, but this morning, I seem to be a bit more awake. I'd quite like to get back to work for next Monday, but we'll see. I'd probably better take this seriously, since apparently if it isn't fully cured, it comes back.
