August 13 Mile 1456

Actually slept well. And swelling going down a little with treatment. Talked to my Sweety and she is flying up right away. It will be great to see her. Can't even hang my right foot over the bed, much less walk. Cannot even conceive being somewhere out the woods right now. So thankful I got off in Kent! What a crazy development!
They perform an MRI in the afternoon on the ankle and foot to see if the infection has moved to the bone or tendons. And all the moving around is very painful.
Won't let me eat till afternoon, as they are contemplating surgery. Decide to put it off until they review MRI. And blood tests.
So what is it? Know one knows. Could be tick bite, could be Brown Recluse Spider, could be some tough ants that have moved into the neighborhood. Bad infection, that's for sure. They do rule out MRSA- a very serious bacterial infection that requires quarantine.
My Sweety comes, my treatment is allowing my swelling to improve, but the foot and ankle cannot be dangled over the bed, much less walked on. The pain is a definite 10!
But no fever and feeling ok!
Slept fine Friday night.
