Early, early Sunday at around 5:00am I fell again. This time, I slashed my left lower leg on something. Mom usually doesnt hear me when I fall in the middle of the night, but this time she did. I didnt even know I had cut open my leg (didnt feel it) until Mom started commenting on how blood was everywhere. I looked down and there was adipose tissue coming out. No doubt we had to go to ER, and this time it was not going to be N. Fulton Reg. Hospital. The SJH MD had no problem sewing it up, and he wasnt impressed with the wound until he saw the wound on my right lower leg from falling a week or so ago...... He consulted my ID doctor, who happened to be on call for the weekend, and I was promptly admitted. They started antibiotics and consulted the wound care nurses and ordered a MRI. I finally got to see Dr Knowlton on Monday morning! What a sight for sore eyes. I've missed him! Turns out, that Sunday morning fall was a blessing in disguise. More later....
