At Long Last - The Answer!

   Wow, what a week (not in a good way)!

   In case you were wondering where I've been for the past week...

   Last Thursday I left work, thinking I was coming down with the Flu (running high temps and exhausted). Finally, at the insistence of my lovely wife, I went to the Emergency Room, where they told me I didn't have the Flu - I had Cellulitis, a pretty nasty leg infection, in my lower left leg.

   Doctors will tell you it's very common (nasty bacteria invades through a small cut), but I had never heard of it.  The upshot is my leg was badly swollen, red as a fire truck, and painful.

   They checked me in, and what followed was five days of IVs, antibiotics, kind nurses, constant sleep interruption and needle jabs. It was only my second stay in a hospital, and like always, it was no fun.

   But necessary. Thanks largely to an excellent doctor who took over two days ago, things finally turned around and I'm doing much better - I was released today and am back home at the computer, but still feeling a bit wiped out.

   And chomping at the bit to see Marvel's Avengers: Age of Ultron.

   So I'm going to take a couple of days to recover, and plan to return here on Monday, May 11, where we'll get back to business as usual.

   Thanks for your patience with me during this difficult time, and thanks for the many kind comments of encouragement. See you Monday!
