Re: Uh-Oh..... Another foot story :-/

Oh, Will, I thought you knew me better than to think I was looking for an
answer here. *vbg* My legs are for sure yucky. Very little nerve supply
left undamaged, plus the weakening and wasting due to the myasthenia. I was
just talking about it, musing in the interim until I talk to my doctor....
well, it is just later this morning now. *s* I'm sure he'll just have me
go to the er since I do not have a local doctor. I have made sure I cleaned
it good with hydrogen peroxide, and of course my feet are elevated at all
times, so it is not apt to be rewounded or anything else. With my
compromised immune system, they'll likely put me on another round of
antibiotic.

Thanks for your concern, Will.

About the weather...... we are having our first cool-down of the season as
the lows are in the 60's and the highs in the high 70's very low 80's for
the next few days. Looks like a nice weekend coming up. I sure hope so;
I'd love to be able to go outside for a while. Our daughter got a new car
day before yesterday, and it was not too bad being outside (early evening)
while looking it over.

Are you affected by the hurricane? I couldn't see the tv, but Jim was
telling me some about it.

Take care,
Billie
