Guest guest Posted December 25, 2008 Report Share Posted December 25, 2008 Hi Shybasset - hope you found some of the information you were looking for. The best outcome is that the Cellulitis heals, soon. Whether you go into hospital, or not, you're in our thoughts, and prayers. Take care, and good luck!
