Friday morning, very early, I developed cellulitis in my surgery leg.  There
was some concern by the ER doctor that the infection might travel to my new
hip prosthesis, so I spent all of Friday, Saturday, Sunday, and most of
Monday and Tuesday flat in bed with my leg elevated gobbling antibiotics and
drinking water.  The swelling is down some today and the pain is less.
Thank goodness!  It was pretty scary for a few days.  I am able to tolerate
putting weight on that leg- again.

But my BIG news is that I was able to walk around my flower garden this
morning.  I have a 1 acre yard and about 1/4 of it is in flower gardens.  I
picked a HUGE armload of flowers.  The majority of the flowers I chose was 4
colors of butterfly bush (buddeleia- sp???) for it's amazing fragrance.  I'm
not much of a flower arranger, but I think the two big vases full of flowers
look pretty.  The very small amount of hurt I may have done to my surgery
leg is so little compared to the joy in my soul when I see those beautiful
flowers and almost swoon from the fragrance.  My whole house smells like one
big flower garden- I love that!  ;-)
