Well I am home. I want to thank you all for your thoughts and prayers. They did and are still helping.
What may have started as a possible shingles outbreak (never had them) or possibly a missed tick bite somehow became infected with a staph or streep virus and just went to town on my head and face.
Five days at home basically in bed. I went back to see the Doctor five days after the initial visit and he about fell off his chair. Dr. said test came back I tested positive for acute lyme and that he was going to call the hospital because I really need to start some IV therapy for the lyme and whatever it is that is going on on my face and head. He called the infectous disease doctor and sent him all the info and 3 hours later I was in a hospital bed. I have to admit the staff at St. Annes had to have been some of the most polite and professional from the cleaning crew right up to the RN's.
But as for Doctors I will always be suspscious. But hey "the shotgun antibiotic atttack" (Dr's quote) has seemed to work.
Cellulitis is the affliction and it is definately on it's way out. I will be on meds for a month or so with a bunch of checkups scheduled. I am hoping we caught the Lyme early enough. I feel better and am pretty sure I will be tossing eels again this weekend.
Thanks again for everyones positive thoughts.
