ross blackford Posted December 27, 2013 Share Posted December 27, 2013 Not good richter. I've had a cellulitis 30 years ago and although it didn't get to the size yours did it was on the way there and what a time to get one of those, right on Christmas. I hope you heal quickly mate and don't get another one. I spent 4 or 5 days in 3RAAF Hospital on a drip with mine. Cheers and all the best for a rapid recovery mate, Ross.

richter111 Posted December 27, 2013 Author Share Posted December 27, 2013 Out now, going to be on a cane for a bit, the swelling damaged my ankle joint. Unreal how something simple as scratching yourself can put you in the hospital. Being told your white cell count was 22.8 (normal is around 2) will also scare the beejeesus out of you.
