Well, I managed to get a case of cellulitis (bacterial infection in the skin) on my shin. The doctors I've talked to about this don't know where it came from, but with a whole lot of intravenous antibiotics, I'm back up and around. I was only in the hospital for 4 days but I've been told to keep off my feet as much as possible because the whole area is prone to swelling up (rather painfully) if I sit normally or stand on it.
Here's an image of the affected area. This image was taken with my Treo, which is really a pretty poor camera, but I think it serves its purpose well enough.
(Edited to make the picture actually fit in the formatting.)
