Thank you...thank you...thank you....the prayers helped. NO surgery, no hospital. Just got back from the doc and he drew blood out of my leg instead of puss (sorry) which was very good. So...I stay on the antibiotics, stay off my leg as much as possible and go back next week. I am so very grateful. The prayers and good thoughts worked.

Thanks OP...feeling pretty good today. *S*

Goodness! I missed that you weren't feeling well. I'm glad to hear everything went well and I'll put in some belated prayers for a continued good recovery! :-)

Oh no worry...I am going to do exactly what he said. Came home from the appt. and came in my bedroom, left the door open so mom could come in(and she did..got on the bed with me and watched tv), hubby brought me my puter, cooked supper for us and even gave me ice cream after. The leg is still hurting pretty good from the poking and the needle, but I don't have anything I HAVE to do till Friday, so off my feet it is.

What MB said.... Just do it to the letter, please . You are way to valuable to waste this opportunity.

Good to hear that!! PLEASE try to follow the doc's instructions to a tee so that you'll have a swift, uneventful recovery!!
