Part II to my last post is interrupted as I bring you the following report(s)...,
Neighbor approaches house in the dark as I sit on the porch conversing with my ailing foot. A sudden strange animal like squelch comes from the edge of black enshrouded woods. Intelligent soul that I am I reasoned (after strong analytical approach) that this was a Space Monkey. As we super intellects know, Space Monkeys are rife this time of year in these parts.
I went to the new Doctor who's first or last name is .., are you ready for this? "Krishna". In backwater Arkansas! So whats in a name. The thing is the man. Anywho the new second opinion doctor disagrees with my regular (soon to be former) doctor. Former doctor says it's Phlebitis. New Doctor says he believes it is a bad skin infection and uses a word that I cant spell but sounds like [Seh-bite-iss]. I tried looking up this word under several different spellings and didn't find anything close to my problem.
Anyway he placed me on an antibiotic, Cypro (forgot spelling), changing my last antibiotic. He says the the foot swelling, fever in it and red-jelly like appearance on top of the foot should go away within a week (7-days). I started to take a pic of it and post it here BUT last time I posted my inflamed galded looking area on my belly, people passed out, the national guard was called in, the CDC closed down entire countries - so - thought I'd spare you my feet which made that one look like a mere jello stain.
So if you're as sick of hearing me belly ache about my foot as I am, I'm willing to bet even an Atheist will resort to prayer for me just to shut me up. So prayers are always welcome, from anyone.., oh and beware of the Space Monkeys, okay?
Part Two to last Entry coming up so DON'T TOUCH THAT DIAL and Stay Tuned In!

Space monkeys. Catch 'em an' cook 'em and sell 'em. After all, you DO live in Arkansas. Someone'll eat 'em. Try 'em with steak sauce.
Glad to hear the foot might be on the mend, then you can catch some space monkeys. |

Arkansas sounds like a dangerous place. Poor neighbours, living next to 'conversing with foot' guy.
Glad a new doctor is willing to experiment with your foot. If the experiments don't work, will he let you keep it in a jar of formalin next to the bed? |

Dave, hope the foot feels better soon. I think, though that your little ordeal has spread South as my hubby now has a ham on his elbow - no kidding, it is swolled up like a regular butt. Hot to the touch and his bp is through the roof - he's on anti-inflamatories and antibiotics (which I am learning to NOT like). You two can commisserate together! |
