  Thanks to everyone who responded with kind words and humor both on and off the list. I'm to be released tomorrow and should be back to normal — well what is normal for me?

  For those who have asked what happened, it is somewhat embarrassing but typical for me. I smashed the big toenail on my right foot. This was a month ago. The toenail decided to make a break for it and I was not paying attention to it and failed to go to a podiatrist. This led to an infection of my right calf that was diagnosed as Cellulitis. Apparently nothing to mess with and deadly if not treated promptly and properly.

  Since I am allergic to penicillin, the doctor could not use his treatment of choice and I was relegated to massive IV's of antibiotics. This was started on inpatient basis on July 4th and I am supposed to be released tomorrow if all is well. The original, attention getting pain is all gone and all my vital signs are normal. If nothing else, I had the satisfaction of passing all physical tests with flying colors and know I am in decent physical shape. We won't talk about the results of the MMPI.

  I also finally got friends and family to bring food to the hospital :)

  So thanks again for the kind thoughts from you folks in the wide wide world alt photo community. Stop by and we'll have a beer.
