The Curious Case of Cellulitis

Last Sunday morning when I called Brian from Cle Elum to tell him I was headed home he said he couldn't walk and was in intense pain (like a 10 on the 0-10 pain scale)....I ofcourse told him to call his parents and have them take him to the ER....which he did and its a good thing.  We started at the ER in Quincy where they gave him pain meds (lots of them) and then took us by ambulance to Wenatchee...Brian even as doped up as he was on pain meds was mad that we didn't get to turn the lights on or go fast in his ambulance ride...haha!  We hung out in the ER in Wenatchee and then were moved to the hospital and stayed the night and most of the next day.  The only thing they can figure is whats called cellulitis....which is infection of the soft tissue...random...everyday has been better then the last and the redness, swelling, and pain is all going down with anti-biotics and rest.  It took about a week but we are back in business and rockin' and rollin'.
