Last Saturday woke up feeling fine but within an hour had the horrible shakes and the odd feeling which i recognise has a high temperature trying frantically to fine my themonitor which i was told to always keep handy but after a frantic search could not find, phoning nhs help line have to say not much help, and feeling more and more poorly only having my youngest son here tried to phone my team at addenbrookes then i remembered the purple card with my ward number so phoned them and they said phone an ambulance which i did and 20 mins later two men came to my rescue got me in ambulance and temp was 39.7 got to hospital turns out it was cellulitis which i had not even heard of, so the iv was put in and 63 hours of antibiotics was in, home Tuesday and today still feeling weak have a check up on Tuesday what an ordeal just goes to show never let your guard down, and thank goodness i phoned for that ambulance and not make a cup of tea has told by the person on the helpline!
