My Brother Is In The Hospital Again

[pastafreak]

He went back on the 20th.
He has a skin infection and fever (which has since gone down)...the same that started his problems last year.
He's struggling to type, but he wrote "cistosis"...nothing comes up on Google. Is he likely to mean cellulite?

Sorry to hear this pasta, hope he makes a full recovery.

[horselady]

Wonder if he means psoriasis?

[pastafreak]

I meant..."cellulitis"!!

Thanks maggie x

[pastafreak]

Not likely horselady. What he had last year "almost cooked his goose" as he's put it.

I can't help with your Q, but I can wish your brother the best & hope he has a swift & comfortable recovery. x

[sunny-dave]

Sorry - I think I misuderstood your question - you probably know all about cellulitis.

I've had a good look for 'cistosis' and variations on spelling, but can't find much relating to the symptoms you describe - I'll have another look after a cup of coffee.

I hope he's getting the best possible treatment, such a worrying time for yoy all.x

[pastafreak]

SD...that's what I thought.
And any info on cellulite says it's caused by staph or strep bacteria, so its likely to be what he meant.
As I said, his typing was terrible, and he said he wasn't able to do much.
Thanks for all the good wishes everyone x

[pastafreak]

I just heard from my SIL. It is cellulitis. He being transferred tomorrow to a hospital in Manhattan for specialised tests. :(

[pastafreak]

Gness...he's been doing so much better.Needing physio to walk again, but progressing.
He's got a new grandchild...with another on the way. This is a worrying setback...

Hope things get better for him, pasta. Doesn't seem very long ago that he came out of hospital.
