Back to The Wizard of Oz Today
And so the doc is impressed with the improvement but advises to keep the foot elevated until completely well. I go in this Wednesday to get some sort of Doppler thang done on my foot to look for blood clots and stuff. Cool or what!?
The Gout test game back negative but have some bad numbers on my Liver and thus I need more lab work - blah blah blah. I'm not sure what that means in the long run but they may have to change my Zocor cholester-oil lowering drug.
I'm hoping this foot nightmare will end by the end of this week. If things keep going as they are - I shall see it come to full fruition! **knock wood**
Thats all folks. Oh and Abby and Penny.., I'm running black market on prison rats now. Only you gotta provide the rope to drag them to your cells from mine. Call me da Rat Man!

The sun-traced shadows moved ever so slowly across the cell floor as I watched a cockroach skitter across the zebra'd shadow zone up the wall and out the bars to freedom while I choked back raw emotion and etched another mark on the wall, counting the days as they dwindled by.
A feeble rat infested mat lay in the corner, serving as my bed. A worn out thin sheet was my blanket and part time confident. Lonely cries echoed in the distance from other cell mates. 'How many," I wondered. 'How many others are here? Five? No more than six.'. It was hard to tell because I haven't seen any of the faces associated with these bitter sounds, distorted by long dank hallways.., sounding almost like Humpback Whales at sea. That lonely cascading wailful droning.
I reach down and touch my injured foot. At least the swelling has gone down more. Its almost back to normal. One of the screws dropped in and told me I could see the camp doctor tomorrow If I follow orders and do what I was told. I still haven't forgotten that beating on my last escape attempt. My foot is a reminder of that event.
Ah! What's that I see near my mattress!? A single chard of a Frito's chip!! I scramble over quickly before the rats can spot it and carry it away. Grabbing it I stand on my one good wobbly leg - "You kin beat me all yew like - but yew'll nawt be taken' muh FRITOOOOOES!"

The news is - last night before retiring to bed, I noticed some slight decrease in swelling. This morning I noticed the foot has decreased a little more. Still swollen, no doubt but definitely showing signs of recovery - except for the redness which has not abated one teensy bit. The new antibiotics must be doing the job.
Note To Jerry: "The Nixon Disease" of which I spoke can be explained by my earlier diagnosis of Plebitis and checking Wikipedia (
Click Here).
It was mentioned that I should be checked for diabetes - my last blood check said all was well some few weeks ago and am scheduled for more lab work on the 18th. Of course they drew blood yesterday I assume just to test for gout.., and not sure if they'll test for anything else or not. Seems to me Dr. Quack should have tested for gout last Friday when I was there in the first place, but he didn't.
Well - I gotta go for now. The more I'm off my foot, the quicker it'll get better. I couldn't connect with the ISP this morning to update this when I wanted. We had some storms meander through probably messed up their equipment. Hasta lavista!

The waiting room. There he sat across from me. Mister Mouth. A stranger but it didn't take a genius to figure out he was all mouth, and he loved to talk. Yap, yap, yap, you couldn't switch him off. "Do you know how much it costs to have a tooth pulled" he asked me. "No," said I.
"A thousand dollars. Can you believe it? A thousand dollars" says he. I raised a brow, "Cant say I do believe it says I." and with that I hobbled outside for a breath of fresh air and to get away from brain boy aka Mister Mouth.
The nurse called me inside and I met with the Doctor. I knew I wasn't going to like this and half expected it. "Looks like you're going to the hospital on this one."
"Lets not and say we did", says I. "Lets do something else. I don't like that hospital of yours, I really don't". So we settle on a trial of new antibiotics and very strict rules of keeping off my foot and have it elevated above my heart 4 times a day, thirty minutes each session and no less.., more is better.
I go back Monday and if its worse or no better I go to the horspital. Of course if it gets worse between now and then I go to the horspital. Hopefully this new game plan will work. Also he FINALLY thinks to test for Gout - in which case Herb and a few others would have been right all along should the test turn out as such..
I gotta go now. Have to elevate that foot ya know. TTFN
