because you asked (you know who you are)

Remember that episode of Little House on the Prairie when Ma had to cut open a deathly infected leg after a receiving small scratch she barely took notice of? I must say I am again most thankful for the moment in time God chose to place me. Yes, indeed.

Photos taken tonight:

Doesn't look so terribly bad, does it? Never really did actually.

But the view from where I sit doesn't look quite so nice.

 This is showing improvement, though. That is good. 

PS: And, yes (you know who you are), I was wearing shoes,

sneakers ... with socks even.
