Amen, brother.
Vince, you hang in there. I'm sure you're familiar with the famous
Nietzsche quote, "That which does not kill us makes us stronger." You
will be an iron man when this is ordeal is behind you.

This makes me so sad, but I might as well tell you all, since Kelly asked.
The head orthopedic nurse called me today. The lab work came back on the
cultures they took during surgery last thursday, and the variety of staph
infection inside my tibia is immune to Cephalexin, one of the oral
antibiotics they had me on. They have decided that the only effective way
to treat the infection is intravenously. I have to be at Vanderbilt at 1:00
tomorrow so they can install a "pic line," a semi-permanent IV. For the
next six weeks, I will be doing daily self-administered intravenous
antibiotic infusions, and a home health nurse will stop by every few days to
draw blood to evaluate the level of antibiotic in my system. Needless to
say, I won't be going anywhere for the next six weeks. Fortunately this
will not interfere with my teaching and other duties at the Craft Center.
And fortunately, Jack Troy has agreed to replace me as moderator for the "Up
in Smoke" panel discussion at NCECA. But I am just sick about this. I
mean, I feel physical nauseous when I think of everything I have missed
because of this damned leg. I'm ready to go on with my life. Hopefully it
won't be much longer.
