Another trip to the E.R....

Four bouts of cellulitis in a year.
We took Carol to the E.R. Tuesday night when
her temp jumped to 101.9 and her left shoulder 
and chest showed bright red, hot to the touch.

I was not pleased with the medical services this time.
It took them almost six hours to administer the
first dose of antibiotics. Would've been longer if
I hadn't questioned the delay...twice.
By the time they finally went into action, the
redness and swelling had progressed to the entire
arm, left shoulder, chest and back. And the swelling
got really scary big.

Tonight they changed her IV meds to pills.
If the symptoms fade away enough, they might
send her home this weekend. We hope.

What a weird winter, so far. Very little snow.
A lot of rain and wind.
They say tomorrow might be close to 70 degrees!
But they've issued wind and flood warnings.
I just hope Mother Nature isn't saving it up
for one huge dump.
