No Changes Yet

***

So far, there have been no changes yet in my cellulitis.
It hasn't spread (and hopefully won't) and it hasn't
gotten any better. According to the exit paperwork they
gave me at the hospital, it can take up to 4 weeks for it
to fully resolve itself. So, no skirts or gauchos for me
for awhile. I don't think people want to see my nasty-
looking leg! At least not in my line of work.

I've managed to stay off my feet for most of the day, but
the girls have done a real number on the living room. I
can't stand it, so I'm done convalescing and I intend to
get it clean and keep it clean (even though it's exactly
what the doctor told me not to do). In an ideal world, I
would be able to lay around with my leg propped up, with
the heating pad on it, but in my real world, I'm alone
with two kids and it just can't happen. I'll elevate it
after they go to bed. Thankfully, the codeine has taken
the edge off a bit.

So off I go. First, I'm going to have lunch (according to
plan. Tuna and rice, with a side of fresh pineapple), then
I'll put Kiki down for a nap, shower and then clean the
house. After that, I'll prop myself up on the couch again
and try to keep the swelling down. Sounds like a plan.
Ciao.
