1008 - Progress
1009 -
100901 - Yesterday afternoon, Millie noticed evident Cellulitis recurrence on
100902 - the left arm. Examination showed mild swelling and inflammation
100903 - compared to previous Cellulitis infection, most recently on 080409,
100904 - ref SDS 3 0001, when Millie was treated in the Emergency department at
100905 - Kaiser. ref SDS 3 0R4H
100907 - ..
100908 - Millie had no temperature, so there was hope this problem would
100909 - subside.
100911 - ..
100912 - Mil was awake at midnight. She noticed inflammation had increased.
100913 - Her arm was warm, as occurs with Cellulitis. There were by this time
100914 - some slight inflammation spots on the lower left arm.
100916 - ..
100917 - Her temperature was 97.4
100918 -
100919 - [On 080606 surgeon indicated diminished lymphatic system
100920 - from removing cancerous lymph nodes may eventually
100921 - strengthen because remaining lymph nodes become more
100922 - robust, which reduces occurance of lymphadema and
100923 - Cellulitis. ref SDS 8 4P7L
100925 - ..
100926 - Decided that rather than go to the Emergency Department again, started
100927 - treatment with Keflex at 0100 this morning.
100929 - ..
100930 - Millie has Keflex on hand, reported on 080409, ref SDS 3 106G, from
100931 - proactive prescription by the doctor on 080305. ref SDS 2 5M3F Most
100932 - of this treatment is still available, because Kaiser issued a new
100933 - 14-day treatment for Keflex for the episode that struck on 080409.

101301 - When Millie got up at 0500, Cellulitis inflammation was the same or
101302 - slightly worse.

101701 - Millie continued treatment with Keflex at 0700, applying the 6 hour
101702 - interval for treatments, shown in the record on 080409. ref SDS 3 J06M

102101 - Millie submitted ref DIT 1 0001 to the primary care physician at
102102 - Kaiser with copies to the medical team. ref DIT 1 00W3
102103 -
102104 - 1. Last night OA 1900 I noticed some minor rash on my left arm
102105 - where Cellulitis has previously occurred, ref SDS 0 OU5J, most
102106 - recently on 080409. ref SDS 3 0R4H
102108 - ..
102109 - 2. I was tired and so went to bed early by about 2000. When I
102110 - woke about midnight to go to the bathroom, I noticed
102111 - inflammation had spread slightly, but was still not severe, as
102112 - we have seen previously. I took my temperature and it was
102113 - okay, i.e., 97.4. ref SDS 0 WR6O I also noticed some isolated
102114 - splotches of rash on the lower arm. This seems atypical, since
102115 - normally Cellulitis presents a continuous rash. So, I'm still
102116 - not sure about what this is, that's why I didn't mention it in
102117 - the letter last night. ref SDS 5 GS88
102119 - ..
102120 - 3. As a precaution, at 0100 I took a Keflex from inventory you
102121 - prescribed on 080305. ref SDS 0 OU75 I took another Keflex at
102122 - 0700 this morning, following the prescription of 6 hour
102123 - intervals. ref SDS 0 PPVP The rash has subsided somewhat on
102124 - the upper arm, and perhaps on the lower arm. Still no
102125 - temperature.
102127 - ..
102128 - 4. I don't think this needs examination, as long as the condition
102129 - continues to improve.
102130 -
102131 - [On 080528 Millie reported progress to UCSF and Kaiser on
102132 - recovering from Cellulitis. ref SDS 6 IJ5V
102134 - ..
102135 - On 080304 UCSF recommended examination at the hospital, but at that
102136 - time, Millie had a temperature. ref SDS 1 6S7I
