Elbow swelling was still spreading by this evening, so I got some different antibiotics from the ER. But not before they took an x-ray and tried like 7 different times (counted the marks) to tap a vein for blood tests. See, I promised fun.
Woke up this morning with an oddly sore and swollen elbow, which I am now on 4x-daily antibiotics for. So that should be fun. I assume I also still have a cold.
