Well, I picked up an infection in my bad leg this last week. It was getting worse, so, Friday, we made a trip to the ER. They checked me out and did an ultrasound of my leg just to make sure I didn't have any blood clots. I didn't. My leg was swollen, discolored, and pretty painful. The doc said it was most likely a skin infection and prescribed two antibiotics; one is twice a day and the other is four times a day. David, my youngest, and his family were coming up to visit and ended up just saying hi and going back home. David took a picture of my leg do document it. The next pictures I took Sunday evening. The antibiotics seem to be knocking this thing down. It looks a whole lot less angry than it did last Friday. Most of the pain is gone, but some swelling remains. I am going to see my surgeon on Wednesday as a follow up. Thank you for your prayers.

You got 'em, Jim! Glad to see that you're not taking a "wait and see" approach. Infections like that are nothing to mess with.
Wow! thanks everyone. Your prayers mean so much to me. Today, the leg is looking much better, and the temp is down, too.
