Today I swallowed the last pill of my eighth prescription for antibiotics. I think I'm turning a corner; the corner to better health. I first noticed a change on Sunday. I felt better. I had less pain in my shin. The hole in my leg was (gasp) shrinking side to side!!!! Today my wound is 75% smaller than last Saturday. And it's moved from a round hole to a triangular one. And although I still have to pack it with wet gauze, hardly any gauze fits in there anymore. Am I ready to transition from ill to healthy? Medical patient to adventurer? Couch potato to active person? Am I ready to get ready for work without wrapping my leg in the flesh-toned, fashion forward Ace bandage? Yes, yes I am. Ready and raring to go; go back to taking a shower, back to swimming in the pool, back to exercising energetically. I can see the corner now and I am every so ready for it. Fingers are crossed. Let's hope this corner doesn't move away from me again.
