Re: Re: Update on Toes and What Kind of Infection it is

Over here to if you have Cellulitis, you get hospitalized....I was kind of lucky the ER dr didn't hospitalize me. Maybe because he knew me and how important is for me to take my meds as prescribed.

Yeah Irene got to be careful with that stuff. I get that all the

time and for me it puts me in the hospital, either it turns to flesh

eating bacteria or its in my face and that requires hospitalization I

guess.

Hang in there and take all the medication they give you!

for the pink sheet, which we get after an ER visit.
