Cellulitis strikes again Permanent link
Saturday 18th October, 2025
So, I have cellulitis once again. I started to feel rough around 10pm last night, so when I was repositioned about an hour later I asked the HCAs to check my legs and, sure enough, there was a red patch on my right buttock. The nurse rang the out-of-hours doctor and I was on antibiotics five minutes later – I get cellulitis so often that I have antibiotics on standby!
It was the same scenario around six months ago, and because I got on the antibiotics so quickly, I only fell unwell for a few days instead of the usual two to three weeks.
