Not only do I look terrible but this is such a scarey infection! If it were to get into my brain, it could cause meningitis. It is already a toxic infection. It is caused by either strep or staph so can be very serious. Luckily, I went to the emergency room immediately when I discovered it. If not treated immediately, the bacteria can spread quickly through the body and cause sepsis which can kill a person.
I will not be going to church today. I am not going to go out of the house until this is gone. We have a salad luncheon there today and a guest minister but they will have to get along without my salad.
I will also have to call in sick tomorrow and not go to work. I have an appointment in the morning with my eye doctor but I will also cancel that.
Enough of that depressing news!

It took me forever to figure out that doctors are human and prone to errors. I'm so sorry this is happening to you, but awfully glad you went to the hospital and that treatment has started. Please rest well, but keep us posted. I feel selfish asking that last bit, but am worried about you.
Hope you get well quickly!! Take care of yourself and rest!
I know you will rest and take your meds. Please know how many people are concerned and praying for you.
Just checking in on you this morning, Margie.So glad you got treatment when you did. Slowing down and resting is good medicine for anything. Take care and feel better soon. You are in my prayers. Balisha

That looks so painful. I hope it goes away fast. Is it hot? I've been so worried about you.
Hugs...Balisha
It stings and it itches, Balisha. Otherwise it is not painful.
