Juanita, m'dear, I hate to scare you (and I'm certainly not an MD...) but have George's physician(s) considered they might possibly be dealing with that "flesh eating bacteria," which has made the news recently? Just on the chance that the medicos have over looked something, you might mention that to the MD(s). One thing I've noticed when I read about it in the paper is that there seems to be no thyme or reason to WHERE it strikes or WHO it strikes. And when you said George's legs had become very scaly something in my memory bank there was a "BOI I I N G!" Wishing George a speedy and uneventful recovery, and sending you both bunches of love.

Just talked to George, says now the leg is scaley and looks worse than it did yesterday. Still his attitude is marvelous. Guess I'll take a page from his book. If he can still be so postive then so can It.Just seems strange that this came on virtually overnite. Guess I had better get the bod in gear so I can go visit him for a while.
