My friend Dewi, Andrew and the kids went to Panama Beach a two hour drive from Tallahassee. The beach was beautiful with white sand. I just enjoyed the sun and waded in the water for a bit but walked back to land. We also had a picnic. I had a great time. That night when we drove back, I felt an itch on my left ankle and leg. Of course I started scratching it and thought it's another mosquito bite. Sunday morning I got up and ready for the airport. My leg felt real sore and warm again I wasn't thinking much of it.
I get home Sunday night and the itch is red and ankle is slightly swollen. I went to work the next day and I couldn't walk right and my ankle felt numb. I got home and the ankle was swollen 3 times its size and my inner calf was swollen, red and senstive to the touch. DH took me to urgent care and I had an infection. They gave me a shot of antibiotic which made me feel comfortble. I had to elevate my feet at all times. I had to stay home the next and see the doctor for a follow-up on the leg. The leg looked better and the swelling went down. He said I had to stay home another day and keep elevating the leg with a warm towel on the red area. I also was given 10 days worth of antibiotics. All is well, the leg has heeled! Again I had a great time seeing Dewi, Andrew, Steven, Jacob, Erica, Buttercup "cat" and Crush "dog."
