Tom, thanks for the well wishes.
Very glad that your neck and back problems got corrected. Really improves the quality of life, doesn't it?
The leg swelling has now gotten "really red" and "angry" looking, phrases used by the home health care nurse. She got me in this afternoon to see the surgeon who did the operation. He spent a lot of time looking at it. Says it appears to him that the infection is caused by bacteria on one of the incision staples. However, said he was not going to take any chances. Gave me a shot of some kind of antibiotic that is supposed to kill everything. Also, another, stronger prescription for even more antibiotics, which I am to take at home in addition to those antibiotics I was already taking (enough pills already).
One day I will be totally fixed up and ready to compete on Dancing With The Stars:-).
Again, thanks for the well wishes.
Regards,
Ray
