Doctors, Doctors and more Doctors

Seems like the whole summer has been waiting in Doctor's waiting rooms. Of course I've yet to meet a doctor that runs on time. My last castastrophy was being bit by a Scorpion, just below my right Patella (7/2/08). I endured a whole month of a bloated right leg, antibiotics at first all IV then oral and changed each and every antibiotic each week. My leg was a big as an Elephant. They called it Celluliotis- just to put a name on it. So I had to mix all my drugs each day with Antibiotics. It took 5 almost 6 weeks until my knee could be touched w/o pain and was not hot do to the infection. Today is 42nd today since the Scorpion bit and my right knee is almost the same same as my left knee. Hence no work outs in July. I'm afraid to weigh myself because the depakote creates an awful taste in your mouth and you feed it with food. What do I weigh? God, I'm afraid to find out. Prior to Scorpion bit and changing to depakote at The Mayo Clinic -I was 177lbs. Still see my 3 or 4th post wouldn't it be nice to have one doctor incharge of my case. At least now I say "Well The Mayo Clinic said to do this..." it's working so far. But I fear I need to go back to Mayo for a follow up. Can't life be simple? I'm still sleeping too long and not ready for work. I concentrate on the wrong things and tend to focus on things that are not important. Is that a side effect? I'm ready for any advice.
