And while you're waiting for that to happen, take Vitamin D & Vitamin C, drink lots of water, and anything else you're convinced helps your immune system. Echinacea, elderberry, et cetera! Take care of yourself, and get well soon!

Hey guys ... While I'm thinking about it ... Any of y'all have a ENT doc you can recommend? OKC area preferred but would not be a deal-breaker if they were out and around. Thanks y'all!! 'Preciate it!

My ENT retired about a decade ago, but Dr. Buyten took over his practice at Oklahoma Otolaryngology Associates, and he seemed to be pretty good the few times I dealt with him. They’re at Rock Creek and 36th NW in Norman, about a mile south of the Healthplex and a mile west of I-35.

Does your insurance require an in-network doc?
Drs Quattlebaum & Steve Richards come to mind.

Head E. on I-40.....get off on Douglas and go N.......turn W. on 15th and go about a block and turn S. into the medical area.

I've been seeing him every six months (ear issue till I finally let him knock me out and put a drain tube in about a month ago) for 3-4 years and if wasn't a good guy I'd have already dropped him long ago.

Luv ya like a sister Gurl but I'd appreciate it if you didn't go around 10:00 this coming Tues. because I've got to be there for a followup on my ear tube and I don't want to catch whatever it is you've got.

Really hoping you get to feeling better soon.

I don’t recall the specific variant, but I had cellulitis in my leg a few years ago. I busted the fire out of my shin getting out of the cab of a tractor; after a couple of days my shin was black and blue and I couldn’t even sit still without swearing like a sailor, so I got my mom to come pick me up and take me to my doctor (there was no way in hell I could’ve driven myself by that time). He looked at it and said it was probably just a bad bruise, but he recommended that I go over to Norman Regional’s ER where they had the equipment to make sure it wasn’t a blood clot.

They did an ultrasound and some testing, and it turned out that it was just a bad bruise and an infection. This very pleasant, nice sounding, yet undeniably evil woman in a nursing outfit shot me in the butt cheek with what felt like a turkey basting needle, then made me roll over so she could shoot me in the other butt cheek with that same evil needle. Then she gave me a prescription for a Z-pack (IIRC) and sent me home.

About a week later, I was good as new. Well, more or less.

I hope it works out as well for you, less the evil woman with the giant needle.

Cellulitis is definitely nothing to mess around with and I speak from two rounds of experience. The second time required an extended series of antibiotics injections that were mixed with a local anesthetic to make it tolerable. My doc told me I was very close to being admitted for IV antibiotics treatment due to the persistent nature of the infection.

After that 1st post, I got off of here and went to work, you know, critters and plants and such.. I couldn't help but replay it. The physical whoopings go on to creating emotional and mental set backs cuz the body and soul isn't getting done what it wants to be doing. Glad to see there's a good bit of advice and suggestions. I sure hope that you get on the mend in short order. While not medicine you might have a gander at some motivational doc and dr berg on YouTube. They're remedies are all natural and should have no side effects. Please take care of yourself we don't have another like you. There's also no replacing the likes of you . Prayers for you gurl.

Thanks sweetie!! I'm about to go see my PC. The swelling has gone down. A LOT. But my socket is still pretty irritated and crazy itchy. And my eyeball look like I had it tattooed red.

I'm gonna visit with him about the ENTs y'all all suggested -- thanks guys!! Scott and I were reviewing the events of last week and we have come to the conclusion that I basically got tonsillitis in my eye. Only me ...

This thing is bugging me so much now that I'm ready for them to just pluck it out and give it to me in a jar. Remember how they used to do with your tonsils?? Lol

I'll let y'all know how it goes. Wash your hands!! And stick them in your pockets!!
