Thanks, Scott. Released from hospital Wednesday. Leg strength up so I can stand up myself most of the time. Prognosis for use of right hand dismal. They cannot operate until IV antibiotics done on 20th, but by virtue of the long delay surgery may not help, so what I'll be left with when thumb stops being ultra tender is unknown. Spooky. Right foot works well enough for the walking I'm doing. My wife and daughter deserve halos and Nick Edgington the Eagle scout merit badge. Thanks to all for your support! I will make the next meeting. Pete
