This is the follow up on Cellulitis..{ L } leg

Well all i have managed to stay PUT of the ER . done my window of Bactrim and now back to the first Anti that i was given Cephalexin at 500 mg two by mouth twice a day so 2,000 mg for the next 9 1/2 days .

Now with Left Leg , 80 to 85 % reduction with swelling , Knee cap still kinda tipped up on bottom side and the spot just below knee cap where the large muscles attaches is still puffed up and measure's 6 1/2 cm across and 5 1/2 top to bottom . It looks like t is getting larger BUT i think it is really the swelling going down around it { if you can follow what i am attempting to say Ha ha } swelling allthe way down to ankle doing well also . NOW i have to log my Temp morning and evening every day along with measurements of ankle - calf - and knee every day . also I am having a doc's tele appointment every three days - my blood draws are back to every three days also . they are running a tad high BUT really surprised that they are holding as well as they are -Kim at Anti Coag Clinic is on board with what ever I want to do they are running 3.5 to 4.5. Also i think they are using me as a person to follow with the Hydroxy - i have been on it for 8 or 9 years now. But also my body has had one hell of a lot of IV's -- and Anti's flushed thru it since LUCKY Friday The 13 TH . . I Feel good --HHS paperwork done for now -- this is a huge load off my mind and i can settle down PRESSURE OFF FOR NOW !!! And me being HYPER anyways just adds to the issues i face . BUT guys This is it for now .. Here Bunker d down here in Sunny Penacook Nwe Hampshire 55 Degree's out - i just may take my Casey out for a stroll . Hugs to all and be safe !!
