I'm still out of the hospital, which is good. I'm taking my antibiotics as prescribed. The foot, though better, still hurts like hell. I am extremely tired and get easily winded. I still do my paperroute at night and that's about it. I got a replacement tv delivered today and don't even have the energy to set it up so I'll be without entertainment again. I haven't the energy/mental wherewithal to write/edit. I feel like a ghost, a part of this world, but pretty much useless. I hope this feeling changes soon. I don't know how I'm going to get my stamina back again.

Your stamina...
Will come back. A little bit more with each day. Make sure you're getting good sleep, that's really going to help.

Foot care
I don't know if you are doing it but I would add one suggestion: moisturize!
Recently I had a problem whereby my blood-pressure tablets made my feet swell. It was extremely uncomfortable and often painful. One thing I learned was to make sure I moisturized the skin frequently since it is being stretched all out of its regular proportions. Doing this cut down the pain considerably.
For the record, my dosage was reduced and I now have no problems at all.
