Saturday

About to leave for a clinic in Whitechapel to have the dressings changed and the wound looked at. I DO think it's getting better--I won't go into gory detail) because the bandages were seeping blood last night (and not anything else)--which makes me think the blood blister broke...
Judith is taking me and will stay as long as she can and then John will pick me up.
The clinic opens at 9am and we're hoping there won't be a long wait.

And my signing/reading Poe event is at 2pm!! I will be there (barring problems with the leg).

I've tracked down the source of my confusion: Metcalfe's classic "The Smoking Leg." Why I confuse that with "The Travelling Grave" may have to do with the books resting next to each other on a shelf, or simply in a catalog, sometime in the past. Title-and-content osmosis occurred. Good thoughts for Ellen's leg continue in spite of my dismaying mental condition. - MarcL

Marc (and all) -- When Ellen went to the hospital on Saturday, the doctors decided to admit her to speed her recovery. Pat Cadigan reports that she is in good spirits and resting comfortably, but that she has no wireless access. (And how can she be comfortable with _that_?)
