Rotten Leg

I’ve been hauling around this rotten leg for about a month.

It is still not very wonderful.

I started a new ointment, Mupirocin, and a new antibiotic, clindamycin.

Dr. Knox took the time to call me this morning to explain the course of treatment.  I booked a new appointment with him for next Tuesday, early.  Had to do a little arm-twisting to get on Margaret’s schedule.

I woke up at 8; “kitty” was outside.  Saw him again around 2:30 as I was pulling in to the driveway from running errands.  Caught up with Laura.

Ron called, needed some big trash bags for the bakery.  Dropped off a box of 55 gallon bags; paid too much but I was not up for driving to Job Lot.

Got my new med and more tape at Walgreen’s.  Picked up a couple of groceries at S&S; saw John and Candy.  Heard from Pete the farmer; I can drop by tomorrow for cranberries, so I made a quick run to the transfer station to empty the back of the truck.

Took a ride with Ron to the bank and then to S&S for a Redbox film.  Had forgotten the card eaerlier.

Roasted squash, broccoli and kale.  Squash soup for supper.  Didn’t have the energy to do a salad.

Yardwork, Continued

Last night, Ron treated us to pizza and salad.  I could get used to being spoiled in this way.

Yesterday, I put the last 3 bags of (wet) gravel around the lean-to shed and cleaned out the small corner garden by the driveway steps.

Slept a long time last night.  Felt great when I got up this morning.

Today I made a good start on cleaning the garden in front of the fence, got maybe 80% of it done.

Smokey was here keeping me company for a bit.  He slept for 3 hours.

Turkey chili and cheesecake from the bakery for supper.
