Cellulitis round #????

So...last Sat I woke up and my left arm had that weird pain but I thought “No, I haven’t had an infection in almost a year.” My primary care doc even commented on that the day before. 
Yep, pain got worse, arm turned red. I refused to go to ER. Instead I downed antibiotics I had stashed. Went to primary care doc next day. She thought she’d jinxed me!😄
Clinda 300mg 4x/day. Hard to get that many doses in.
Arm is much better tho!

Distal radius fracture

So, 80s night at the roller skating rink. Seemed like a good idea at the time. Fun right up until I fell on my butt and wrist.  I saw my friend skate by as I was walking my injured self over to sit down. I mouthed “I fell.” She came over and asked if it was broken. I could feel things moving and then it started to swell. She drove me to the ER. Got a splint. Made appt next day for ortho doc for a cast. Got cast off on Mon. Got sliced by the Stryker saw.
