Nope. ;) And I'm sorry it's been as long as it's been but have been having PC troubles, again? Still? :grumpy:
At least I've got the major issue with Microsoft Updates solved, , , , I hope.......;)

Lower right leg still swollen to just above the knee, and swollen enough too make my knee hurt although it usually isn't all that bad, thankfully!!!!:thumbup:
Barbie changes the dressing 4 times a day without fail and so far it appears we're keeping any infection at bay. The ulcer has actually bigger probably by half again its original size and now runs from about 3/4" or so from the lower left side of my ankle running up to the right and across my shinbone a ways. It's maybe 1-3/4" give or take a bit wide all across the area the open area where I'm missing skin...
Bandages were getting rather expensive and we had a 48 count pack of diapers one of our daughters bought for her kids many years back that Barbie kept. I finally talked her into trying to cut the ears off of one and try it for a bandage, works most excellently and they're cheap AND BIG!!!! :cool:
Barbie keeps my leg wrapped within an inch of my knee with a Tight Ace Bandage that helps a great deal to keep the swelling down, still hurts like a bastard though, and a Mean Bastard at that!!!!
At times it feels like someone is poking a red hot poker through my leg! :eek: :(
Oh well, it takes my mind off my sciatic nerves... LOLOL In spite of the added pain from my leg I have still managed too keep my oral pain meds down too a lot less than what they were so we're pretty happy about that!

I do have an appointment with my leg doctor Monday just to make sure all is well. Yesterday it was swollen a lot worse than usual and the area just below the ulcer at its lowest point on the left lower side of my ankle was a really nasty purple looking color and our daughter was concerned, but today it's looking well again.
I told her yesterday that I had it figured that Barbie just had it wrapped too tight.
But then Barbie has had that affect on me since the day we first met. ;) :D

Trouble is it can take a long, long, time to get rid of these damned things. : Insert big ol' nasty scowl here... wink. Done used up my quota of smiles, still think we oughta get an even dozen instead of a measly ten. wink again.

And thanks for all the continued Smoke and Prayers, they are very much appreciated!!!!

I think I'll send some more smoke and prayers up tonight ... well, prayers anyway. Where I am, smoke isn't really allowed.:(

Have I mentioned lately that you are one tough old son-of-a-gun?:D And how much I admire that ... :thumbup:
