Lyn Bodoni needs a get-well card

Obviously you are recovering, if you can make important decisions like that.

Cellulitis? Is that like when your cellulite gets out of hand? :smiley: I’m sure there are thousands of cures available on the Internet!

Take a look at the view out my window, link below. It always makes me feel better.

I always knew you were a Red-Hot Mamma, but let’s not carry these things to extremes, dear.

Get well soon.

Boy, it’s bad enough she had 104 fever, but she had to move this thread. It that doesn’t make her cranky … :wink:

Yeah, heavy lifting like that isn’t good for a fever, fersure. At least she was able to move it before it got too big and heavy.

Don’t die, Lynn! You can’t die on us! I can’t make it without you. We can’t go on! Don’t leeaaave us! BE STRONG, for the children!

Be strong, Lynn! Take your pills and rest. My sweet wife had the same thing a couple of times, and it’s no fun.

For those who thought Musicat was serious, NO it doesn’t have to do with cellulite.

Well if it did have anything to do with cellulite, I’d already be a pile of smoking ashes, back about twenty years ago.

Get well very soon, Lynn! I hate hearing you are feeling poorly as bad as I hate feeling poorly, myself. Good, healing thoughts on the way right now!

i hope you are feeling better. if you can’t eat the ice cream perhaps you could bathe in it to cool the fever?

I’ve had a full day’s treatment of antibiotics now, and I’m feeling much better. My fever’s down, so is the swelling, and my leg doesn’t look like I put it in a pot of boiling water for half an hour. Thanks to everyone. And yes, I WILL finish the course of the antibiotic (unless I turn allergic to THIS one too, in which case all bets are off). For those who are curious, my leg looked somewhat like this, except in my case, the infection started just above my toes and ended just below my knee. It’s not pretty, so don’t click on the link if you might get grossed out. And DEFINITELY do not Google for cellulitis images unless you don’t plan on eating for a bit, the images are GROSS in the extreme in some cases.

Ewww! My legs look somewhat like this.

Me and my large palm frond are here for you if’n you need us.

Glad to hear you are on the path to recovery!

Sorry to hear you’re ailing. My sister gets cellulitis, but I don’t think it ever looked that bad. She goes to the ER and they put her on an antibiotic drip for a few hours. Usually fixes her right up. But what a drag. Hope you’re feeling better!

I’ve gone to the ER a time or two, but they always put me in the hospital and start sticking sharp pointy things in me, either putting stuff IN or taking stuff OUT. I don’t like having a catheter in my wrist for five days. I don’t like eating hospital food for five days (though it’s VERY nice not having to do much in the way of housekeeping, and NO cooking and laundry). Everybody expects that I’ll be awake in the day, and asleep at night, when I generally work the other way around. No internet connection! I just plain don’t like being in the hospital, it’s boring. Besides which, I’m very good at taking my pills on schedule.

Anyway, you should have heard my cat scold me the last time I was away. Nobody and nothing can outscold an outraged Siamese. I’m HER human, and she expects ME to be available to serve her 24/7.

Glad to hear you’re feeling better. The old “brains boiling out 104°F” fever is never a good thing. Get well soon.

Trust the drugs, Lynn! Use the force!–Ubi Von Cannubi (Star Wars, the outtakes and bloopers reel)

I’m going to assume and hope that you’re MUCH better by now. I just wanted to throw a few good wishes your way in case there’s an errant germ still lurking about.

Take that!

(sound of crackling germ, frying in it’s evil little juices…)

And no relapses, either!

Lynn, dear, you put up with a lot of shit here and you you don’t deserve to be sick on top of it, so just stop it. Tell your body who is boss.

Get well soon!
