As I said, it's been 09 years in January, took off work to see Pres Obama sworn in, walked the dogs before the festivities began, and slipped and fell on a grassy hill. Got to see some of it in the hospital.

Anyway, I'd let it go, but my leg has been bright red, itches, and painful. I've had cellulitis twice, and this last time there has been no improvement.

Well, hell ... guess I'll at least make an appointment with an orthopedic surgeon. Sounds like I'll need your good wishes.
