Dang Larry, my leg and foot hurt just reading your emails. In 25 years of quad-dom I have never had an infection like this, but you can bet I will jump quickly at the first signs should I ever get one. As unpleasant as this is to think about, I appreciate your posting it and the comments of others on how important it is to act at the earliest signs of infections. It almost seems like common sense, and I suppose it is, but like you I don't think I would have been too concerned had I seen those early symptoms.
Best of luck and I hope your hospital stay is as good as a hospital stay can get, including hot, young nurses on every shift, weekends too, who flirt just enough to make you want to buzz them every three minutes for a drink of water. With luck there will be one you think about for months after you go home. Get well soon! Summer is almost over...
