Lilia's hospitalization

Lilia was hospitalized this week due to cellulitis of her right leg.  It sounds painful, looks painful and personally, I don't want to find out how painful really is.  Suffice to say, that Lilia was crying when she told me how painful it was.  At which point I told her we should get her to a hospital and in which case, the more she cried, begging me not to have her confined.  We compromised on a visit to a doctor.

She was prescribed antibiotics at first but on the follow-up checkup, there was no other alternative but to be confined in order to have the antibiotics administered intravenously.  After several days of that, her leg had improved.  She was discharged this morning, but with still a regimen of oral antibiotics for the next few days.

The main reason she doesn't want to be confined is because she is still traumatized after her prior stay in the hospital due to a gall bladder stones complicated by pancreatitis.  That was painful.

She's out now.  And taking another maintenance medicine.
