News - Health Issue Update #3
🕑 Added 2021-05-15 04:35:04 +0000 UTCHi.
Sorry, I didn't want to make any more posts about my leg, but I need to give you an update as this is going to affect things for this week.
The leg hadn't improved at all so I went to see my doctor again on Wednesday. Latest diagnosis is cellulitis and the treatment is a week long course of antibiotics. However, I'm supposed to keep the leg elevated and immobile as much as possible during this time.
The doctor told me to lay in bed, but I can't stay in bed for a whole week so I'm sitting in a chair with the leg raised.
While I can still work, it's awkward and uncomfortable sitting like this which is making it difficult. Unfortunately, that means that progress is going to be slower this week. Sorry.
Thanks,
DB

Thanks, Puma. And yes, the antibiotics have made me a bit sick, but nothing too bad. Cheers.

That sucks pal, antibiotics are no fun either. You just focus on yourself and get well, do only what you are able. We will be here after do not worry about that 😀

Glad you're still here, Chessy! And thanks for your comment. I appreciate it. 👍

Well said Pax! - Get well soon DB... As you can see I m still here... And as Samwise Gamgee said once upon a time in middle-earth "I can't carry it for you... but I can carry you!" I hope I can raise your mood a little with this small phrase?! Chessy

Health first - Please! Your efforts to get back to good health will reward all of us - so, from my purely selfish perspective :), Please take the time to get your health back!!

Gosh I'm sorry your having so many health issues lately. Hope things get better soon.
Trav
We all want you to get better. Don't worry about us while you're on the mend, we'll be right here when your leg is well again.

Take care of yourself first. Pre-existing conditions seem to be a magnet for the virus, so best take care of this properly. Any medicine works better with rest and no stress, so take a vacation from Hillside. I'm sure the stalker wants what's best for you just like we do, they'll wait for you to get back on the job.

If it is cellulitis, that can be quite serious. Take care of yourself.

I'll make sure to complete the full course, William. Thanks. 👍
galanthis
do what you need to get better
Rebelyon
Get well soon, and if needed, just take a total break.
William S Perry
Just do the full course of meds. Ending up in the hospital is not that entertaining and IV antibiotics suck.
