It is Cellulitis. They started me on antibiotics.
Apparently there is a 10-15% chance of an infection with any IV drug delivery. Throw in a compromised immune system and the odds go up. Timing wise, it can take days to develop because it take a while for enough infected cells to be created and for the body to react with symptoms.
We were back home at 2 am and the swelling is already reduced this morning.

Finished reading your blog uptil this latest post. To say that you're going thro a rough patch would be one heckuva understatement. Looks like you've got your chin up with lots of support from family and friends.
ReplyDeleteMy best wishes for you to come out of this soon. Hope the cellulitis's under control now.
