Why Do I Always Get Bitten?

| 1 Comment

So, I've got Cellulitis

Bitten by something on Sunday, the first full day of camp. My fault, on account of me wearing shorts rather than trousers. But then it was sunny, and I am on holiday.

So, a trip to the local GP to see why the rash from Sunday night was slowly creeping up my leg. A few minutes later, I've a HUGE back of antibiotics, some more Lemsips, and a rash identified as a serious infection. Which, if I'd left it longer, would've put me in hospital :-O

Doc said to keep an eye on it and make sure it doesn't spread any further, otherwise I'd have to have the large quantities of oral antobiotics injected direct into my leg veins :-O

Got to keep my leg elevated whenever possible, and draw a mark around the rash and monitor it's progress. Owh, and come back in a week. Which is difficult, as I'm in Leeds at the moment, and will be back home next week :-O

And the worst part? The discomfort, the aching calf? Nope, I'm not allowed alcohol for 2 weeks :-(
