Day 28: Boredom of a sort

I spend the day doing pretty much nothing, sitting with my feet up, and the doggies on each side of me on the couch. I feel a bit bored, because I finally am feeling like I want to be more active and doing things about the house. Up until now, I have actually enjoyed the inactivity.

I have been busy all this time, mostly doing needlework: I made 3 sweaters for the doggies, a shawl for me, and have been working on the decorative stitching of a quilt. Until the last few days, my brain has been a bit foggy, and I have enjoyed working my way through our video library. 

The spot at the base of my knee is sensitive to touch, and the redness has spread a bit. It feels quite hot. I am taking antibiotics, and eager for the day to pass. I see the doctor again tomorrow morning, and look forward to hearing good news...and fear hearing bad news. I don't know what the next step might be if he thinks the infection is not just a stitch. Not knowing creates fear. I push it constantly away from my mind. 

One interesting thing: I asked my doctor for the surgical report...very interesting to read through. Now I understand why my shin has felt bruised....it is!
