Grounded

Well, it seems I am grounded.  Too ill to travel! :(

A week ago, I scraped my stump, no nothing I did, a bandaid tore off some skin.

I have been keeping it clean and saturated with Neosporin and I thought it was going well, until yesterday afternoon.

Youngest daughter was celebrating her 25th birthday, party planned at Olive Garden, and my leg would not go on!  I had it off because I was violently ill, it had fit fine in the morning, but in the afternoon - no so much!  And the pain was excruciating!

So, leg is swollen from a staph infection, again, it seems.

Five hours in ER while they argued what to do with me.  Call the infectious disease guy again on me or get me some antibiotics to nuke this!  So, antibiotics ordered, managed to keep down a little soup and massive amounts of tea - trying to stay hydrated in this heat!

So, not likely to be able to travel.  I will miss my friend's funeral.  But, I guess God knows what He is doing and I am not supposed to be there for the fight which will surly erupt!

Sigh.

Maybe in a week or two I will be able to go down and help out, if his wife has need of me.

Sigh.

And it just had to happen at the moment I could pay my respects to my almost life long friend, as well as, probably the last gathering of the kids - no matter how difficult it is going to be.

Sigh.
