Medical Update

I went to Dr. Peterson (ENT)on Monday for help with my constant cough. I can tell you it isn't fun having that "whatever" put up the nose and down the throat. I really felt badly for Kayden having that feeding tube for so long. Dr. Peterson said there are cysts on the vocal cords and most likely acid spilling into the voice box. So I am on a high regiment of Prevacid (twice a day) and as little talking as possible. Yeah, right. I am a teacher! My job depends on my voice. Luckily I have a microphone, which I turned up a few notches. I am trying to not talk at night, so if you call I might not speak to you....sure!
Then yesterday I started to get the "tingling" in my leg again. Sure enough, swelling and redness along with the little dark red spots....my self diagnosis...cellulitis again! How many times does this go on? This morning my leg is swollen above the ankle to the knee with the dark red spot forming on the back of my leg again. I know there isn't an appointment at the clinic until the middle of next week, so I guess I suffer until then. I had an ultrasound done the last time, but no report of problems, no blood clots. So what now? Just read the symptoms and hope sometime it goes away and never comes back? What is causing this all the time. It hurts with every step, stings like crazy all day long. I guess it is just my lot in life to have a right leg that doesn't like me. I am sure it all stems from something in the joint or whatever because it has all been the right leg. But what is it? I can't have the knee taken out to stop any infection, so what do we do now? Oh, well. Don't complain. People don't like to hear complainers, so "Everything is just fine at our house!" Thanks for asking.
