Get well soon. I was on a course of prednisone last year (damn that pill is bitter). Slipped on the stairs and got a tiny scrape on my ankle. I thought nothing of it until a couple of days later when my ankle ballooned up and I had ugly red lines on my lower leg where the infection had spread to my lymphatic system.
