You made me laugh with your "(sorry if anyone is having their tea)" comment.
Glad you feel able to get out and about a bit more, it's great that you now don't have to rely on others to take you out.
Some antibiotics should clear up the infection quickly - just as well you decided to mention it to the doctor.
Take care, and come back very soon.
Thank you for that Yogi. I don't feel quite so bad about my post now. Yes it was lovely to be able to say to the doctors' receptionist that I could make an appointment at 4.00 pm without having to worry about who was going to get me there!!!
Hopefully the antibiotics will work. There is a great deal in the literature I bought home about not letting infections take hold as they can pass through the blood stream and attack my new knee (or so they say). Certainly don't want that to happen.
