The 2 by no means reconciled.

My proper ankle and decrease leg are nonetheless swollen and painful. I’m taking a robust antibiotic and 15 different capsules and stay in mattress all day with my legs elevated. 

Dr. Norris and Nurse Sarah attended me at dwelling yesterday. Norris thought the ankle seemed the identical, although nonetheless very swollen and heat. He mentioned lets watch it. The antibiotic has to kick in in some unspecified time in the future.

Sarah got here after Norris had left. She instantly mentioned it was bigger/extra swollen. She had measured it within the hospital. Measured it once more, It was one centimeter bigger than after I was discharged. She thought I ought to return to the hospital. I wanted the antibiotic intravenously. She mentioned she would contact Norris and see what he thought.

I’m certain they talked. Nonetheless, I’m nonetheless right here.

My ankle is smaller this morning for the primary time in a number of days. Not a hell of lot, however sufficient to be noticeable. If it continues to return down, I doubt I shall be returned to the hospital.
