I continue to remain on a medical restriction from work due to what was a serious staph infection in my right leg...
The lymph node which runs down my right thigh, and the area surrounding my kneecap, was hideously swollen. I wrote about this in last month's journal. According to the prison's doctor, I had a close call. He said I was fortunate not to have lost the leg. As a result, I had to spend almost two weeks in the hospital. Now, however, I am on antibiotics, at least for a while longer.
But I was allowed to go outdoors, and it was a picture-perfect day. Yet very soon I won't be able to go outdoors during the mornings because I will be back at work in the kitchen. Though, for now, I am usually permitted to use the yard. And this is what I did this morning. I spent it walking with two good friends who happened to be off from their assigned jobs as well. For me, walking is good because it will help my circulation, which I need to do in order to help fight this infection.
Today I was especially privileged to be under a canopy of hundreds of fluffy white clouds of all shapes and sizes as they danced across a crystal blue sky.
