I had developed cellulitis in the eczema on my leg, again. As this had put me in hospital for five days in November I was keen to avoid a second go. I thought I would get me to the Dr straight away and be able to stay at home for Christmas.
It was close.
The Dr gave me two lots of antibiotics and pain killers so that on Christmas day when My leg suddenly swelled up again it was "just" a trip to the out of hours (OOH Doc) Doctor on Christmas Day. He gave me a third antibiotic and more painkillers and I was able to return to my settee of pain.
Mr M coped with looking after me and the chickens and he cooked meals and looked after visitors and hugged grandchildren and did all the things I usually do - and seemed to do them more easily too.
I am glad to report that the Dr thinks we have beaten it for now, although I have a backup course of antibiotics in the cupboard just in case. They are good until 2016 so I reckon they are the insurance policy like the two paracetamols in the pocket for a headache - I will explain if you don't understand that.
So Happy new year to everyone, so glad to be able to relax and enjoy the undiluted company of my husband for a few more days before he goes back to work. I might even go outside!! Or not.

Oh,no! Not the settee of pain! I'm really sorry to hear this - I was just wondering how you were doing. I'm keeping my fingers crossed for 2014 for you and wishing you and the family all the very best for the New Year x
Oh my goodness, I do hope you are on the mend?
I was calling by to wish you & yours a Very Happy New Year, better include Healthy in that!
As another woman with her own skin maladies, I can totally relate!! I'm sorry this put a bit of a damper on your holiday season, but glad you were so well taken care of! Here's hoping 2014 gives you some relief!
Oh, that sounds very miserable - what a phrase, 'the settee of pain'! Hoping you,will be feeling better by now and off that wretched sofa!
