well it looks like my cellulitis is getting worse instead of better.....my leg has swollen to the size it was when I was 500 pounds and hurts like a MOFO!!!!!!!!!!!!!  i go back to the doctor tomorrow to check the "progress" and i have a feeling that the only way the meds are going to get into me is by IV.  if that's the case then I'll be in the hospital for 2 or 3 days.

Get thee to the ER for those IV antibiotics before you break the skin.  It can only stretch so much, ya know.

Aaron,

Everyone is right... call your doctor and get to the emergency room.... please!  It isn't normal for your leg to swell that much, especially if you've been on antibiotics for the past 24 hours.  

If there is anything I can do to help, let me know.  I'm sending healing bear hugs your way!

Brent...

Feel better, hot stuff.  This is something I know nothing about, but judging by everyone's posts I hope you headed to the ER. 

Post when you have a chance and let us know how you're doing!

Aaron, you have given yourself an amazing gift by choosing to take the best possible care of yourself in this weight loss journey. Don't stop now by procrastinating. As everyone is saying, call your Doctor and get to the ER... or better yet, get to the ER and let them page her. This is very serious. We love you and want you to be well.. and damnit I'm too far away right now to come take your ass there because you know I would.

I saw on Facebook that you were headed for the hospital. I wondered if this had happened. Take care of yourself. My thoughts are with you, bud. -- Tom
