Dec 30-Jason returns to work but has a doctor visit after work. The doctor cut his wound open and pressed all the puss and necrotized flesh out and decided to give him a nice shot of antibiotics in the hiney. (I guess 5200mg of oral antibiotics just isn’t enough.) They also cultured the ooze. YUCK!!

Dec 31-Jason returns to the doc for more and gets a shot in the second bum cheek. They tell Jason to be sure to walk in the shot but also that he needs to keep his foot elevated?!? He tried to do both valiantly. LOL! We also attended our ward New Years Eve Party
