Bacteria in wound has not died. Another picc line to be put in and 14 days of a different antibiotic. Being straight cathed every 6 hours now. Not fun put keeping on keeping on. If you don't see me at times this is why.
Notice server activity is down, as all I can do right now is slip in and watch for a few minutes.

Slept pretty well. Foot wound is now 2 small wounds and middle is closed, now if I don't bust it open again. The sodium levels are up to just below min. and I was drinking to much water as doctors and everyone told me to do. The picc line is removed. The serious problem I have left is the damage from the gerimyican. I am unable to stand without help, hearing is reduced and vison messes with dizzeyness, so using computer right now is difficult to hit correct keys when putting hands on keyboard. So I am not to active in computer land for now. They are going to refer me to a movement and hearing specialist in Indianapolis to access the damage caused by the antibiotics. Thank you all for the prayers, is more than helpful, is inspiring.

Take your time, patience and rest. I know, sometimes it's hard. You want to do this and that, but health is more important and work will not run away, hehe.
I pray for a good recovery

WOOF WOOF

Here is the latest from the wound clinic. Xray Doc says its into the bone slightly, but podiatrist says its from the RA what they are seeing called hallux limited and several other problems from the ra with bone spurs and ingrown toenail. He says all this is contributing to poor circulation and neuropathy in foot. He says he can fix it quite easily with laparoscopic surgery. The internist is not so sure he is correct so Monday I go to a infectious disease doctor who we know for confirmation and second opinion. The infection or wound is dry but still red around a very small hole in side of foot. This morning I will take ciprofloxacin antibiotic which is a family of antibiotics I may be allergic to, but is effective to finish off this infection. Sonny is coming over to work on a computer and be here in case I develop breathing trouble after taking this. Last time I took this class of antibiotic I woke up with a start and took a deep breath each time, like I stopped breathing. A steroid shot stopped this. So since then they have labeled me allergic to this class of antibiotics after this result from taking one pill. I am not even sure this was the antibiotic that caused this. Lets hope I can take this oral potent antibiotic. This will be much better than a picc line if it works.

Infection is back. Have started two more weeks of antibiotics.

this is reall bad news
hope that the antibiotics will erase the infection soon!!

all the best wishes!!

Very bad news indeed. But we know you are a tough old Dog and if anyone can beat this thing its you Glen. Get well soon.
