Wtf is wrong with me.. photo included TMI

[deadembarrased]

Woke up yesterday to a nawing pain where my knickers sit on my right leg. Thought oh I'm just getting fat and need bigger knickers.

Today I woke up feeling like shit. I can barely move my leg. It's agongy I cannot walk to see this monsteristy. There is a larged raised redness around it. I cannot get to the GP i have a meeting in the morning I cannot miss.
I feel really shit, keep getting cold as well. I thought infected hair folicie but it looks worse. Would show the large red patch around it but I'm embarrassed enough showing this. Please help 😭

You seem like a truly horrible person. 💐

Hope you are feeling better this morning op and that you manage to make your appt or rearrange it.

Morning, still feeling like crap. They gave me some painkillers last night and managed to sleep through. Still hooked up to antibiotics and it's not gone down much yet but isn't get worse so bonus.
Ex is bringing up my laptop to the hospital before school run the nurses said I can use the WiFi for the meeting so trying to make myself feel semi human for it.

Well done OP. Get better soon.

Seriously @Confessionsofa40yrold - when you've made a tit of yourself like you have the best thing you can do is STFU, stop drilling down, disappear, name change and reassess your ability or otherwise to give useful advice.
You look increasingly foolish with every post you make.

Get well soon! I wish they could reschedule your meeting today. Am sure they would understand but ofc I know how important it is for you to get it done. Could you maybe say hello on camera then switch it off for the middle bit.

I’m so glad you got the treatment last night and that you’re going to manage the meeting. Hope it goes well and that you can fully rest and recover after 💐

Get well soon OP.
Can't pour from an empty cup and all that.

Good luck with the meeting today, and I hope you get better soon!

Good luck today.

I am beyond glad you went in that is simply horrible. I hope the meeting goes well.

So pleased that you got there and are getting treated.

I am so glad you went in. My mum died of sepsis in May. Stuff like this isn’t to be messed around with. Please look after yourself.

Yeah the doctors already lectured me. Apparently with my medical history I should be taking it easy and they surprised I haven't landed myself in hostipal before now. But what's a sen parent to do? Its not like I can down arms and go eh doesn't matter anymore, wouldn't be so bad if the LA/school system dn't want to fight me on every sodding thing. i have an echp mediation next week too and new medical equipment training for dc hopefully I'm home for those.
Might tell them to chop me leg off just to hurry things along. 😂

Oh, dear, @deadembarrased, I'm so sorry to read that, but very glad you are now being treated for it. Sending you lots of good wishes and empathy, and I really hope your meeting goes as well as it possibly can.

I’m not telling her to stop them altogether. I’m saying there are ways round it. We regularly send people home in between doses. They then either come back to the day unit or a bed if there is one.
IV doses are spaced out. You can have one at 10pm and the next one at 6am depending on the course.
If there are 6 people on a ward on IVABS at 6am they won’t all be getting them on the dot as the staffing ratios won’t allow it.

Single parents of sen children are bloody superheroes.

Fingers crossed the iv antibiotics get you better asap. Make sure you tell the person you’re meeting with what’s happened. Xxx

I followed this thread yesterday, so glad you didn't leave it any longer to get treatment. Hope you can get through the meeting and it goes well. After that, make sure you rest and stay in hospital as long as they'll let you, ie don't be pressurised by ex to leave early. When you do leave, would he be amenable to looking after DS a bit more I next few days, maybe doing one of two things that benefit DS, ie getting easy food in?

Oh my gosh you're doubling down! 🙈

This. ^ Know when to stop @Confessionsofa40yrold You gave really REALLY bad advice, that could have caused serious harm to the OP.

At least do the decent thing, and say sorry, and admit you are wrong. I'm cringing for you. 😬

Sorry you're still feeling crap, but at least you did the right thing, and got it dealt with, (and didn't take the appalling advice that certain posters gave!) 😬

.

Ah i’m glad it sounds like you’re still getting to the meeting so that wasn’t another thing to worry about for you.

I also hope your ex is taking you more seriously now and should apologise.

Good to hear you are being well looked after, OP. So glad you're on the mend and the antibiotics are beinh given.❤️✨️

Hopefully those who gave terrible advice on here will be more mindful in future. Cellulitis is dreadful and serious, I think I had it once and the GP was deadly serious when she said it could have ended up in hospital with iv antibiotics.

Wishing you well @deadembarrased , so glad you are in the right place. As a SEN parent I get it, there is no respite, just multiple fights. Wishing you well for the appt today and that you are on thr mend soon.

All the best for the meeting & your recovery Op.

Hopefully you manage to rest for as long as you need.
