On Friday night (so 4 days ago....) my husband had a really bad fever and his arm was killing him.
He was up all night moaning in pain.
The next morning at 8 AM he drove himself to the urgent care.
They took an EKG, his temperature, and sent him to the Emergency Room at the hospital.

He drove himself.

He was there all day. He drove himself home around 4pm after getting IV antibiotics.

He had to go back at 1AM for another IV dose. My neighbor was kind enough to drive him.

He's on two oral anibiotics and some vicodin for his pain.
Yesterday he drove himself in for another doctor visit.
Right now he has driven himself in for yet another check.

His arm is not getting better. It is hugely swollen and red.

He pretty much can only lie down because of his pain and the general awfulness he feels.

I keep thinking this will all blow over and he'll be fine.

But a teeny part of me is very worried that something is really wrong with him. One of the doctor's mentioned MRSA. Another says it is just cellulitis.

I'm going about my daily stuff, but it is so strange to see my husband, who is the care-taker of all of us, needing to be taken care of. He is my go-to guy. The person I count on to help me when I'm not strong enough to do things.

I really hope this is nothing and that he feels better soon.
