Hello pretty people! I have to apologize for not blogging recently, but for the past week I have been battling cellulitis. It began as a simple bite (most likely by a cockroach) but got infected by some bacteria. I actually have a feeling that the bacteria itself came from the cockroach. We never know where it's been! That same day, I had a hard lump that was around 1x1 inch and painful. The next day, I could barely walk going home so I passed by a doctor she diagnosed it as cellulitis (which confirmed what I had searched in the internet). My bump had grown more than twice its size. The doctor started me on a regimen of oral and topical antibiotics, but for several days it still continued to grow. My foot had really swollen, too. I had a hard time walking for days and sometimes, I was confined to the bed. It's only now that I'm already walking properly, although my leg hasn't healed yet. I still experience some pain. But as of today, I am back to work. Hopefully, my leg will continue healing soon and I can start blogging again.
'Til Then!

Bad cockroach!
Oh My sis! If it still grows, that means the antibiotics aren't working! Can you go for 2nd? Or 3rd opinion please? Sorry I don't have much faith in doctors nowadays and I'll always go for 2nd opinions! I pray you get better!!!

@nikki, as of now it's healing already. it's much smaller and i can actually feel it itching na, which is a good sign :) i don't trust doctors either :P
