All of your avatars are so great!
Well here I am again... I had an amazing turnaround in the pain this morning and fell dead asleep after logging out sometime after midnight Leslie's time, and she babysat me most of the night, which was very sweet of her if I do say so. I managed to sleep quite restfully until about 9 a.m. when it was time to face the music. Unfortunately, the prognosis from the surgeon is that my infection is far too severe to operate now and I have to go through a series of retreatments of the infection over the course of the next several days, and they hope that by Thursday or Friday the infection will have subsided enough for them to operate. EGAD! And if this pain doesnt let up it means I won't be at work either. I am hoping I start to feel better ... soon.
