Feb 2023

I'm taking antibiotics. This is day 2 of 10. When I woke up Monday morning, my right ankle was red and swollen. In typical pig-headed fashion, I did nothing except a little ice and elevation for a couple days, waiting for the swelling to go down. It didn't, so after persistent urging from Mrs. Rick- I went to Urgent Care. They gave me prescriptions for two antibiotics and shuttled me over to the Emergency Room for an ultrasound to test for and rule out a DVT. The ultrasound was ok. In retrospect I feel like I got away with a little irresponsible behavior. 77 and still trying to grow up.

To all those imbibing or not, Good Health! (raises glass of water)
