Howdy All,<br /><br />Had to go to see my doc today...crazy experience yesterday going to work....had this excruciating right ankle pain, could hardly step on the gas or brake.  When I got to work, I pulled off my sock and my right ankle was greatly swollen, and there were two huge red welts above it.  I figured I had been bitten by something....all sorts of critters coming inside to escape our rains.  I took a couple of benadryl, put a bag of frozen edamame on it and kept my foot elevated most of the day ( thankfully, we had a quiet day yesterday ).  By evening, though, things looked much worse.  So, in I went today to see Dr. Yan and now I&#39;m on Keflex for ten days - aleady I&#39;ve developed a cellulitis from the bites.  Something similiar happened on my left ankle a few years ago and I didn&#39;t bother to go to the doctor for over a week...and that leg looks horrible - permanently discolored, etc ( takes a nurse, of course, to ignore her medical care&#33; ).  I hope the Keflex won&#39;t interfere with my cruise martinis, etc&#33;&#33;&#33;<br /><br />Teacp, in San Francisco, we have Chinatown and our Italian section ( North Beach ) right next to each other as well.  Just crossing Broadway is like catapulting into a different part of the world - one minute, you&#39;re looking at ducks hanging in windows and wondering at mysterious herbs in bins, the next, you&#39;re sipping an expresso at a sidewalk cafe and listening to an aria.  I have loved this city since I first saw it when I was eighteen, almost fifty years ago.
