My friends,
I have not been on much due to my illness and having to stay off my leg and in bed.
I banged my shin against the edge of a black metal flatbed and it broke the skin and bruised the leg. I shook it off ....waited till the initial pain went away... then went back to work. I worked the rest of Friday with just the usual discomfort from smacking your shin on something sharp.
Went home that night feeling ok. I woke up at 2 am Saturday with a great deal of pain in my right shin. I took a look at it and it was swollen to the size of my lower thigh...about 2x's more it's normal size. Went to emergency room and found out that the germs and filth on the flatbed got under my skin and created Cellulosis in my lower leg.It is avery painful cell infestion under your skin..Am taking very high doses of antibiotics and anti-Inflamatories to help the infection and the swelling. But..was told also that once you gfet this..it will nebver go completely away...Will flair up evey now and then if I bump it hard or bruise itagain...nice thing to look froward tohaving again...LOL....It will take some time till I can go back to work, tho. Your prayers and thoughts are great...thank you. I love you all. Miss talking to you all. I will be back on when I feel good enough to sit there and type.
Love to You All.
HOWIE
