Home from london

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.

Not many in the horror field can truthfully claim they've been laid up in Jack the Ripper's stalking ground with a growing nightmare injury while the hospital is being devastated by an epidemic.

You're gonna need to change your bio!

I'm very glad you made it home safe, and here's to continued good (and hopefully more prompt) medical care.

True!

Thank you. I wish I could take an allergy pill for my nose but until I talk to my doctor tomorrow I'm afraid to (it might interact with the antibiotics).

Ouch. Yeah... At the higher end of the antibiotic food chain, the interactions can definitely get squirrely. I assume they put you on some variety of thermonuclear bacterial jihad, as opposed to the wimpy stuff?

Something called FLucloxillin and penicillin. I haven't looked anything up online not even "cellulitis" --I'm just not up to it yet ;-)

I was on the above intravenously for a week, now on them orally.

So other than that Mrs. Lincoln, how was the opera? :)

Definitely best to wait on a doctor's word for any anti-allergy stuff.
