The State of the Hole

[billroper]

Well, I still have a big hole in my leg. This is not a surprise. I'll likely have this hole for months. *sigh*

But the infection in my leg appears to have been cleared up by the surgery and antibiotics and that's a very good thing. The hole continues to slowly leak blood, but it's apparently the correct color down there (red) according to a phone conversation with Dr. Bob earlier this week. And my knee is only barely swollen now.

So it seems to be getting better. I see Dr. Bob and the surgeon again on Tuesday and they'll take a look at it and tell me what they think then.

At least they didn't have to put maggots in the hole. (I knew someone who had a wound on their arm that wouldn't heal - the doctors put maggots in the wound to eat the dead flesh, then took them out once they had done their job.)
