Being mistreated is the most important condition of mortality, for eternity itself depends on how we view those who mistreat us. --The Peacegiver (p. 33)

House Call
I just witnessed a miracle. A doctor who makes house calls. Only he isn't really a doctor, but the local PA who I think is wonderful and takes such good care of me. He didn't get the message I left for him so when he found I was in medical need he came to the house. What a great guy with a great wife who lets him take care of his patients. As I said, my leg has been really swollen and red, AGAIN, and he wanted to look at it. Gave me antibiotics and will call more in to the pharmacy tomorrow. Then asked why I'm not wearing my ted-hose, told me I had better for a few days, and come down to the clinic for blood tests. He agrees with Dr. Labrum that perhaps there is some congestive heart failure going on, but wants to get the blood work done before sending me on to another doctor. Just what I need, more worries. But I know he is here looking after me. So tomorrow at my class I will be wearing my cute white tight stockings, keeping my leg elevated, and not speaking. I should be safe from any participation!

i completely agree with dr lowell and dr labrum. i know ted hose are a pain in the butt, well really a pain in the leg (HA HA HA) but you should wear them. Let me know what the drS continue to say! :) hope you start feeling better. If it's not one thing, it's another. Love ya mom!
I don't know if there is a heart thing going on but I would get it checked out. And you had better wear the Ted hose and take that Lasix that you hate or you are just going to keep getting cellulitis. I would go to a cardiologist and get an echo and stress test with imaging just to rule out any heart thing.
