Ick!

Cellulitis is an inflammation of the connective tissue underlying the skin, that can be caused by a bacterial infection.

I am the current unwilling host of the above condition. Inflammation, primordial ooze, swelling, all on my face. Yum! I went to the Dr. yesterday and he put me on an oral antibiotic and a couple of topical creams. Hopefully I will not be called on any job interviews while I look like the elephant man.

On a humorous note, it's really hard for my children to take any discipline seriously right now when it comes from me. I can put on my "stern mama" look and I can tell they aren't hearing a word I say, because they are focused on my ooze.

Sorry to hear about your ooze! Rub some dirt on it ~ that always seemed to work when I was a kid.

Yuck. We should get together and compare ailments ;)

Oh hun I am sorry to hear that you are under the weather. I had a friend who had cellulitis years ago and I still recall how miserable she was. Hopefully the ooze will pass soon.

Be well
Be blessed

How in the world did you get it in the first place. Is this a stress related thing, or what?

oh no! I am so sorry to hear this! Is there anything you need or anything!! I can come over one morning and help you clean or do whatever before I go to work if you need it.

Mike had that in his knee mixed with bercitus and he got hospitolized for it.

just let me know if you need anything.
