Thanks for the wet one Linda&#33;  I&#39;ve missed your sense of humour.<br />

Well....let&#39;s see....last Thursday I came home from work not feeling very perky.  I laid down and took a nap.  When I woke up I was running a 102 fever and had bad chills.  I went to bed and woke up later sick to my stomach.  <img src='http://www.cruisecrazies.com/community/images/forum/tr-emoticons/sick.gif' class='bbc_emoticon' alt=':sick:' />   Took care of that and went back to bed.  I slept all days Friday and Sat.  On Sat. morning I noticed a &quot;rash&quot; on my leg.  Didn&#39;t really think a lot of it.  Figured it was from the fever.  By Sat. night Chris and the kids were asking me what was wrong with my leg.  My right leg, knee to ankle, was all red and swollen.  So on Sunday Chris took me to the emergency room.  They diagnosed me with cellulitis.  An infection of the skin.  Usually caused by staph or strep.  The first Dr. gave me IV antibiotics and sent me home with instructions to come back next morning for another round.  Went home.  Leg started blistering up and fever went to 103.  Chris hauled me back.  2nd Dr. said 1st Dr. shouldn&#39;t have sent me home.  Spent first day in emergency room as there were no &quot;beds&quot; (translation: plenty of beds, no staff for them&quot;)  Anyways.....a week of IV antibiotics (3 different ones), Prednisone (which caused blood sugars and blood pressure to rise), and here I am.  Leg is still really ugly but better.  2 weeks of bed rest and keeping the leg elevated.  Supposedly at least a month till legg looks normal.  Needless to say....this is not fun&#33;   <img src='http://www.cruisecrazies.com/community/images/forum/tr-emoticons/sad.gif' class='bbc_emoticon' alt=':sad2:' />   But I&#39;m feeling better and on the mend.  <br />

Thanks again to everyone for all the thoughts and prayers&#33;&#33;&#33;  Keep em coming&#33;
