Today - is a good day

My left leg is now sponsored by Dr Rocky Moise and Dr Van Sittert as well as the nursing and physio staff of St Joes....

First day that I believe the infection is actually under control since no new area hurts and my leg is no longer red and huge, now to try to get the knee to bend

one cut 9 days ago, 3 emerg visits then rescued by Dr Moise who snuck me in to Dr Van Sittert's office,  13 "visits" for 23 different antibiotic infusions over 27 cumulative hours, one surgery, one night in hospital, 2 physio appointments and counting... - probably 30 Tylenol 3's, some naproxen and ibuprofen, about 6 million ice packs, crutches, an immobilization splint, 4 wound cultures (one of which went awol thanks to emerg) and one nasty swamp monster bacteria in my knee

6 shifts off work (assuming I'm not suddenly walking tomorrow :o) but can walk next week  )
one bike course taught by Marc and Genevieve while I was in surgery instead of teaching
One missed course by Marc that he was supposed to be at instead of teaching biking and visiting me in the hospital
and I doubt I can race this fall....  despite the best of physio I can't see that being a reasonable outcome

but I have two legs, and right now that makes me very happy!
Today is definitely a good day.
