Not Again

I posted on here about having to miss out on a Feb trip this year due to having cellulitis. I did eventually get that trip in April though. So a couple of weeks ago I was looking at coming over to New York to watch Baseball. Flights weren't too bad but hotels were crazy so I dropped the idea. The trip away bug was there though and I ended up booking 6 nights in Vegas.

So I'm looking forward to this fairly hurriedly arranged trip. On Sunday I went out in the day for a few beers but only lasted a couple as I felt unwell. I came home and went to bed but was going through a hot a cold phase. I woke up and felt a lot better and even managed to eat as well and I put it down to something I had eaten.

I even went out Sunday night for a few beers and felt fine, that was until about 3am Monday morning when I was throwing up again. I went back to sleep and when I woke up later I felt a lot better. As the day went on though my left foot started hurt and I could see it was swelling slightly. I rang to get a doctors appointment but couldn't get one till Tuesday morning. I seen the doc and yes I have got cellulitis again although not as bad this time.

Last time was 10 days in hospital and 2 weeks on crutches, this time it's a better scenario. I can walk on it although my foot and ankle are still very swollen. At the moment I cant get my trainer on but I do have a plan B should the swelling not go down enough.

I'm halfway through the 2 lots of antibiotics I have been prescribed and it's looking ok at the moment, so fingers crossed I will be on that plane on Weds.

 

Thanks Sonya, last time it was no chance as I was still on crutches at the time of the trip. This time around I can walk on it so it's looking a lot better. I hope the gambling gods will be kind to me giving what I have gone through to get on this trip.

 

That is terrible!! So hoping it improves so you can make the trip!!

 

Wishing you quick recovery, bring on Vegas!

 

Hope you recover in time for your trip.

 

Have a good trip Stig, hope it all goes well!!

 

I've had two episodes of cellulitis in my leg stemming from an old injury...last one started up during a Vegas trip....put me in the hospital for 5 days on IV antibiotics and several weeks on oral antibiotics..not fun. I now travel with a 'emergency' supply of antibiotics on my Vegas trips, just in case the symptoms start up again during my trip. Hope you make the trip.

 

Thanks everybody, I'm feeling a lot better and I'm walking about a lot more so hopefully everything will be ok.

 

Well feeling a lot better and ready to travel to Vegas tomorrow.

 

Good luck Stig, hope all goes well and you smash em up with the bankroll!
