Sunday afternoon I felt a twinge and slight pain around the shin area of my right leg.

Monday it was sore and when walking it felt like a shinsplint pain. Just put it down to that or a pulled muscle as i walked it off a bit when out and about. Tuesday the pain was sharper and Wednesday it was worse with my leg starting to swell up pretty bad. Went to bed on Wednesday night and yesterday morning it was agony. By yesterday afternoon I literally couldn't walk.

Now I've only ever been to casualty once in my life and didn't know about it till the next morning as I got knocked down by a taxi in Glasgow city centre one Friday night walking home pished. But yesterday I was starting to get a bit worried as the swelling was mental and it was all red, so I bit the bullet and jumped in a taxi up to A&E. and you'll not believe it but the taxi driver was the one who knocked me down 10 years ago!!!

(only kidding but that would have been funny)

Anyway

After 3 hours and a few tests turns out I have an infection in my leg. Got a pain killing injection, painkillers and antibiotics. I've to rest it for a few days and see how it goes. They also kindly drew around the infected area with a marker pen so I can keep an eye on it if it gets worse. A fact that Mrs greedo finds highly amusing as it looks like the map of Africa. She'll not be laughing when she see's the sheets though as some came off last night :wacko:

Strange thing is though I've not cut my foot or leg so how the hell did i get an infection???????

Geeze Greedo, you had me going when I read that the taxi driver was the one that knocked you down ten years ago, I nearly spat my alcohol free wine :sad: all over my keyboard.

Anyway, getting to your infection, poor you!:biggrin: That does not sound good at all, oh dear oh dear :biggrin:

I am no help though, as I have no idea how you can get an infection without actually cutting yourself, or anything like that :wacko:

You'll cope Greedo. I've just come back from the gym. 1st time since being quarantineed with swine flu 2 weeks ago. I nearly died. (at the gym, not the swine flu)

Imagine being stuck in for a week, with your missus moved to her sisters for safety.

And only your (vaccinated over 65) mum for occasional company. Such a pleasure!

Hope the infection clears up.

Cheers mate. Glad you're fighting fit. I'm just bored. Just the way I am. if i wanted a quiet night in I'd be fine but when you're told to rest it's not the same. Just feel restless. Been that way all my life.

I'll venture out tomorrow:biggrin:
