Red streaks are bad, m'kay?

Got home last night, with my wrist hurting worse than it had in the morning.  Took my uniform top off, and saw red streaks going from my wrist to my elbow on the inside of my arm.

Red streaks are bad, m'kay?  Not good.

Went to hospital, where a nice doctor looked me over and said "Yep, that's cellulitis!"  And gave me lots of antibiotics.  In case you don't know (like I didn't) cellulitis is essentially an infection under the skin, normally caused by some sort of staphylococcus bacteria.  How did it get there?  Hell if I know.  Maybe a bug bite.  I have no clue.

So anyways, I'm now on two different antibiotics.  Yay me.  I'll be shitting like a goose in a couple of days.
