She called a doctor in to take a look and he told me that my current antibiotics are probably doing the job and my body is starting to take over the recovery but just in case, they will take a swab of the pussy bits and send it off to the lab to see if the bug is resistant to my current antibiotics. If so, they will prescribe me a different type when I call back on Friday for the results.
I must admit that my leg is looking better. The pustules are now mainly scabs and are on their way to healing but my main concern is scarring so I think I will try and find some anti-scar cream tomorrow.
From the doctor I drove over to Kate's place to meet up for some shopping. She wasn't quite ready so I helped myself to some breakfast while she dried her hair. We drove down to Burnside Village and walked straight into one of my favourite little boutiques. I walked out of there with 2 tops and 2 pairs of earrings! Kate wanted to buy some more shoes seeing as Whistler the guide dog puppy had chewed up a few of hers. We looked in a few shoe stores and I walked out with a pair of flat black "ballet" shoes but they were made of fine mesh and so comfortable I thought they would be great for KL. Kate picked up a pair of pale gold sandals and some pink slip on shoes. In another store, I found the most comfortable slip on sandals in a white and tan colour. Kind of like Birkenstocks I guess. I figure they will be good for walking around KL.
From shoes we headed to Peter Alexander to look at PJs. I wanted to buy some slippers for Dad's place and I also found a great pair of PJ pants with wide legs in pink and aqua stripes and a matching racer back tank top.
After all our shopping, it was time to go and pick Luke up from tennis. We grabbed him and headed back to Burnside Village for lunch. We had sushi and a coffee before doing a quick bit more shopping - I needed to get a card and cake for Dad's birthday. I ended up buying a little apple pie - yum!
I dropped Kate and Luke off at home and drove over to the Tower Hotel to meet Dad and his mate. I couldn't find him in the pub and when I rang he was just leaving the carpark! So I pretty much followed him home.
We spent the afternoon relaxing. Dad had a nap while I messed about on the computer trying to get his iTunes up to date and catching up on my blog. About 6 we headed out to the Maylands pub for a drink and dinner. Stan and Kate had taken me to this hotel last time I was in town. It has been beautifully renovated and we enjoyed a beer at the front bar before heading to the dining room.
We ordered a glass of wine each and our meals. When they came they were huge! I had lamb mignon with roast potatoes and dad had veal scallopine in a white wine and cream sauce. I ate as much as I could but I still had a half fillet of lamb left which I asked to take home. We ordered some coffees and chatted for a while before heading home about 8.30. It was a really nice night and great food!
At home, I stayed up for about half an hour before heading to bed - I was exhausted!
