Inflamed elbow update

This morning my elbow had turned from sore and swollen, to sore, swollen and quite red, indicating an infection.  I decided to have it checked out and spent 5 hours at the Pan Am clinic.
The diagnosis is bursitis. I got anti-inflammatory and antibiotic prescriptions.  Hopefully they will take effect quickly, as I am anxious  to continue.  I will wait till tomorrow morning to make a final decision on whether I am riding tomorrow or not.

I am very pleased with the response of donations already, many from people we don't even know.

Knowing that my goal is not a "yellow" jersey as in TDF, but rather an effective voice  for 2013 children, I am committed to continue.  CHVN and IGNITE 107 continue to give Tour for Life regular exposure. I had another interview with them when I was at the  clinic today. 
My struggles are only temporary, for an orphaned and abandoned street child, each day can be a matter of life or death. 

Pray for a quick response to the medication.
Arvid
