At this point, I am beyond the point of being miserable and basically just really frustrated. The itching has been going on for so long that I had kind of just gotten used to it, but this cellulitis is killing me! When my leg is up, it feels fine. When it's down, it hurts but not too bad. But when I go from having it up to putting it down, it hurts like I don't know what! Because of that, the doctor sent me yesterday for a doppler ultrasound to make sure I didn't have a DVT. Luckily, I don't, but it's still frustrating to not know why I have this.
To make things worse, this week I have an important meeting on Tuesday that I can't miss, I am driving 3 hours on Thursday for a continuing education seminar so I can get my North Carolina Certified Paralegal designation and my boss has already paid a lot of money for me to go, and next weekend I have a convention and I am a voting delegate for my organization. I don't have time to deal with this right now! The antibiotic is 7 days worth and I am taking 4 a day. It will be finished Wednesday morning and my followup with my doc is Tuesday morning. If it is still as painful as it is now, I am going to tell her that I have to have some relief and get rid of this thing! I have these things coming up, plus our church is getting ready to move to a new location and I have a lot to do with that. Ugh! It is just so frustrating to have this thing going on with my body and not know why!
