The War Is Under Way

Adventure Location: Falcon State Park, Falcon Heights, Texas

War, and a very significant one, is being waged inside the OFM’s body to hear him tell of it. The bacteria and the antibiotics are getting it on hot and heavy. His body is shifting from feels decent to horrible and all stages in between during every six hour session. His pills are every six hours. But the side effects of the drug are worth the misery to get rid of the infection.

This next picture was taken right after the Teams returned from the doctor yesterday.

The night before the elbow had been a little sore and a red spot about an inch in diameter was all that there was to see. Overnight it got a lot nastier as you can see. But the war is ongoing and the red is receding. We only have nine more days of war until the Teams ultimate victory.

During one of the feel good sessions the Walking Team went out for some exercise.  A walk along the developed trails was taken. This kept us out of most of the cold wind we were experiencing this morning. At one point the lake was in view and this picture of the miserable south Texas winter weather was taken. Looks really nasty doesn’t it??

The cold temps predicted for the next couple of nights is silly. They are talking about below forty degrees F.  Humans with wheels should not be suffering in weather like that. But without a passport the OFM is as far south as he can comfortably get.

Back on the trail was some evidence of a successful hunt by some critter. This bit of fur might have come from a rabbit that ran out of luck even with four rabbit’s feet.

The active time is getting better as the healing works its way toward complete recovery. Until then the adventures are likely to be small and mild as we are out trying to have tooooo much fun. TheOFM.
