Home from london

[ellen_datlow]

After a relatively short flight (we arrived an hour early), being whisked through customs (being in a wheelchair is good for something) Ellie and Bob picked me up (they didn't expect me to be so early so we didn't connect immediately), I was home by 7:30 or so. I'm now unpacking, eating dinner, and will open some of my mail. But I'm pretty tired so don't feel like writing more right now. Doc appt at noon tomorrow and finally I'll take a real shower and wash my hair for the first time in a week. I figure if the leg gets wet, my doc will be taking off the bandages in an hour or so afterwards anyway.

Thank you everyone for your concern,your well-wishes and just for BEING HERE.

So glad to hear you're home and doing better. Did the docs in London have to debride your injury? Sounds like you had one hell of a bad time -- I feel for you. You start out expecting a fun vacation and then something like this happens.

Take care of yourself.

Yes, that's exactly what they did (after cleaning it out). I have NO desire to see it tomorrow when my doctor removes the dressing. I'm sure Ellie will be delighted (she's accompanying me).

You must have been put on intravenous antibiotics for super-infection and cellulitis, if you were hospitalized all this time.

Ack. What a bummer.

Good luck tomorrow at the doc's. I'm sure you're dreading the visit. I don't blame you. What an awful ordeal.
