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.

When we got Mere home, she had a huge boil where an inocculation had gone south, and the first week here, she was in and out of the doctors and the hospital, culminating in an operation to clean out and open the boil area. Big hole in her hip/butt area, and it seemed to take forever to heal up (she still has a scar that they boys may notice at the beach in about 8-10 years) with constant dressings and the like. The docs and so on these days are wizards at wound care. Good luck!
