Bite or Not??? - UPDATE



UPDATE: Saturday, May 23, 2009 - Mister has Mrsa. It's a very hard to treat, contagious form of staff infection. It actually is bigger than right now and his foot is swollen. He's on a VERY high dose of antibiotics and we're hoping for the best. If the swelling and the size havn't gone down by Monday (5/25) he's going back to the doctor. Fun for us!!!




Check out this sexy leg! We thought that Mister got bit by something. It's really red, tender, hot to the touch, and getting bigger. Not to mention that it hurts him to walk. So he went to the doctor today. The doctor wasn't sure that it's a bite. He thinks it's cellulitis (again). But he sliced it open (with MUCH pain) and drained a little stuff out and will have it tested to be sure. Meanwhile, Mister is supposed to keep it elevated as much as possible and use warm compresses. And take antibiotics. So here we go again. (Mister had cellulitis a few months ago.) His leg is hurting him quite a bit and is limping around. Hopefully this won't last too long.
