Elevation!

Good Morning, and a good morning it is! Or at least, at this end!

A tidbitz of an update! We went to the ER last night around the dinner hour; we were given that bittidz gem; that 6:30 / 7:00 ish is the 'quiet before the storm'. We were at the ER for about an hr and a bit; and Alan was administered with his 24 hr antibiotic, via the IUV drip. Apparently, it was an open cut that caused the damage. Alan was very lucky; however, we have to keep his leg elevated as much as possible. He was given the prescription for an oral antibiotic; which means he does not need to return to the hospital for reinforcements. The doctors, nurses, all staff, were just wonderful. Fortunately, Alan receieved swift care. However, a few tid hours after we had been home, he brought everything up. Hmmmmm. combination of the pills, along with the morphine. We called the ER this am to confirm whether the antibiotic would still work; inasmuch as he "upchucked" over our balconey (lovely, I know). He received reassurance; that things would be okay; because the antibiotic via the IUV, had already infiltrated his entire system. Pretty amazing stuff...a 10 min hookup for a 24 hr antibiotic relief.

On another subject, we are glad that we are home for a bit. We were planning to go out of town for another week; but as eluded to in my earlier tid posting, "best laid plans of mice and men"... So instead, we will be staying put for now; and will be attending to our projects via phone; and with people coming to us at home. It is as if Alan is holding court, with elevated foot and all.

Tidbit - Make the most of each day. Whatever plans you make; and if they go awry, welcome the change in a positive way! Very often, it is for the best.
