Phew! I nearly had a panic in my hands.Vicky, you do make me smile... "Let us know what date has been booked" = "No ifs and buts, get off your **** and do it!"
Seriously, though, my thanks to you and @Sable_Jan for your concern and good advice. In fact, I phoned my GP at 9.30 this morning and he confirmed that it was pretty classic symptoms for cellulitis, as I suspected, and has sent a prescription for antibiotics to my local pharmacist which my husband's picking up this afternoon.
He also told me that, what I thought was a separate virus on Sunday and Monday due to the pains and high temperature, was in fact almost certainly the start of the cellulitis. Although I've had cellulitis before, following surgery, I've never had it like that, so that's a new one on me and one I'll be aware of in the future.
You're right, though, it can get serious pretty quickly, which is why I had a change of heart and called the surgery earlier. It's silly to take chances...

I thought you meant YOUR hubby for a minute!!! I was getting serious delusions of grandeur and thought the entire country might be demanding a public holiday because I had phoned my GP! ("Wow - maybe the books are selling better than I thought...") LOLPhew! I nearly had a panic in my hands.
It just goes to show a temperature is a good sign of something wrong.
Hubby will be relieved you are getting mended quickly. Me too. ♡♥♡
Hang on. Did your gp mention delirious symptoms? lol only teasing!I thought you meant YOUR hubby for a minute!!!

Well the last 2 weeks haven't been so good. Abcess two weeks ago, loads of anti-biotics (14 days worth) Co-Codamol to ease the pain, then to cap it all I left my metformin behind when I went on holiday to France. No holding back in France, Cream Brulee, Moussee au Chocolate, at least a bottle of wine a day2 bottles of a beer which was much higher in carbs than myfittnesspal led me to believe. Delayed journey back on Saturday, and a carb central handout of food. Box was the best bit
Then on Monday morning my HbA1c bloods. I am hesitant to restart the metformin on a 1g dose, so called the surgery to see if I could be prescribed 500mg instead. NP called me back, said she had my results already, and on the back of that a reduced dose was no problem. Thanks I said, and care to share the HbA1c with me? It's very good she replied. And??????

Yay! Dad dancing here
