Physical Status Aug 22; Yellow Jacket and toe update

August 22nd, 2008

The Yellow Jacket sting which I was allergic to went into a secondary infection which turned into Cellulitis.  Blisters have opened and scabbed-over and have subsequently fallen off.  I had an allergic reaction to the antibiotic which caused a rash all over my chest and legs.  Now it is finally clearing up, the sting happened 8/2.  My little toe on my left foot feels better but is now turned outward a bit instead of being straight up.

Left Leg – still 90%, rare some fasciculations, no some cramping, no atrophy, now dragging when walking
Right Leg – still 100%, no rare fasciculations, no cramping, no atrophy

Left Hand – about 50% 40% frequent fasciculations, less cramping, little atrophy
Right Hand – about 55%, 45% frequent fasciculations, more cramping, little atrophy

Left Arm – about 65% frequent fasciculations, some cramping, atrophy showing
Right Arm – about  75% frequent fasciculations, more cramping, atrophy showing

Neck – rare no fasciculations

Phrases Recorded – ALL

    Holy cow. You’re right, when it rains it pours. I am especially sorry to hear about the cellulitis. I know how awful that can be. Not from personal experience thankfully but I know of people who have landed in the hospital with it in severe cases. That is some serious stuff.

    Wow, you went through some stuff there… I’ve been keeping you in my thoughts and prayers, man… especially during prayers at the church I’m playing Gospel music at…

    Thanks Sasha and Carlos. I really appreciate your comments. Actually my arm flamed up again on Monday so I am more antibiotic cream – it looks better already! I scratched it Monday afternoon, I will learn soon…

    Gee Pat I should not whine at all! I have some antibiotic creme prescribed by the stupid doctor that infected my spine. Never opened. Should I send it to you?
