Cellulitis?!?!

Lucky me -

I came down with a rash on my arm.  Or so I thought... turns out I have an infection!!  It's nowhere near the incision site so who knows how I got this one.

Weee- more drugs!!!

By chance is it anywhere near the iv insertion site?

Good luck with that. please careful.

It's so weird - I have a little patch on my stomach, but nowhere near my incision.  The big one is on the back of my left arm.  It's not close to where the IV was.  The only thing I remember is that I had a few insulin injections in that area... but for it to start up two weeks after I left the hospital?!?!  

I saw my surgeon today and he was surprised about it too.  Leave it to me ....  I gotta be unique...

I'm on antibiotics and I have to follow up if it doesn't improve in a day or two.

Well, they took me off the penicillin and put me on sulfa.  Good news is that the infection was not detected in the blood so I don't have to go back in to the hospital (yay!)

The skin finally broke and I think I'm on the way to healing now.  Leave it to me to be a "rule breaker" .... *laugh*
