Last night, my foot started bleeding from one of the incisions. Not a lot of blood, just a little bit where the digging occurred to get out the rogue, rejected internal stitches. I think another one is coming out and it hurts pretty badly. Not like surgery pain--more like just having any other cut/puncture wound on the foot. Downside is my doc is out of town this week on a cruise. He has partners available, but they are not podiatric surgeons and I just don't know if I want to go see them or wait it out. I'm keeping the area clean and using the ointment prescribed by my doc, but it still throbs. Keeping my fingers crossed that it doesn't get worse and hinder my ability to walk and get back to normal life soon.
The plus side of being confined to the couch today is getting to watch the inauguration. I can't remember the last time I watched one live, primarily because I haven't enjoyed the president elect enough over the last 8 years to bother. I am always impressed by Obama's speeches and hope that the world gives him the time it is going to take to turn this country around. We cannot expect miracles or instant change. Americans are not used to delayed gratification, but we must make baby steps toward the changes needed to get us headed in the right direction again. I have hope that we are on our way. Whatever your political beliefs, it is important to stand behind and support our new leader for progress to be made.

Wow. You and I share the same political view. Who'd have guessed. I'm surrounded by bigots here in Apopka. I liked what he said about it taking all of us doing our part. One man can't change the world, but he seems to be a man that might motivate lots of people to get it done. He got me hoping!
