Update

 

Doing everything we’re supposed to do with the leg.  Oral antibiotics.  A topical antibiotic nasally.  Packing and dressing twice a day.  The wound is still inflamed, but the swelling in the foot has gone down.  Can’t really tell if the flesh eating monster has been tamed.  We’re looking forward to a return visit to the doctor tomorrow for an authoritative opinion on its condition.

 

This experience gives me great sympathy for all who have gone before.  This thing ballooned on me in two days.  It would be a terrible progression if there were no effective treatment.
