I feel much better today!   Although my leg is still discolored, the inflammation is gone and the sore is looking like it’s starting to heal.  Or at least it’s starting to go down a little bit.  The redness has lightened a little bit too.  It’s been pretty itchy but that seems to be right around my bandage where the tape has been so I think it’s just my healthy skin reacting to having something on it all the time for 6 days.   Also, I really felt pretty good today – which helped me realize how badly I’ve felt the last week and a half.  I guess having a bacterial infection will do that to a person.   Don’t worry Mike, just because I’m getting better doesn’t mean I’ll stop taking the antibiotics mid-stream.  I’ll finish them!  Thanks for your prayers.
