Gee....what a fun weekend. I spent 2 days in emergency, getting poked and prodded because they suspected deep vein thrombosis. I just thought my leg was sunburned, although the swelling should have tipped me off.
Anyhow, after a long, cold, sleepless night on a gurney, followed by a 6 hour wait in ER for results, it turns out there's nothing wrong with me! (Yay!) I have a "major inflammatory process" aka cellulitis. They wanted to keep me longer for IV antibiotics but my tolerance for long-drawn out procedures diminishes rapidly in proportion to my need to eat. A week's worth of antibiotics and I'll be good to go.
However, the thought of DVT spurred me to action. Since I don't want to fly anymore if I can help it, I left the hospital and promptly purchased a) a hamburger b) a case of beer and c) a Class A RV.
8 months and counting before the official "R" day!
