Physical report - not required reading

I'm way behind on my movie going, due to a short bout with the flu starting on March 2nd, (knocked out the fever fast with "Tamiflu") followed by an undiagnosed (so far) weird, nasty, red, angry rash on my left leg that emerged on March 3rd, and grew progressively worse - spreading north above my knee, until Friday when a trauma doctor put an impressive bandage (quite tight) on my leg) and added another anti-biotic to the two I was already taking. So, the bandage comes off tomorrow, and then we'll see. I've watched lots of stuff on TV, lying with leg elevated, including the somewhat recent "Fairly Legal," which isn't great, but is quite watchable particularly because of the charming lead actress, Sarah Shahi who plays "Kate Reed" the lawyer. She has a great smile. "The Good Wife" continues to deliver excellent episodes, and did I mention I'm addicted to "Jeopardy?" Did you catch "Every Human Heart" on PBS? In it, Jim Broadbent excellent as usual. Much as I like "White Collar," the captions are practically useless, and with my somewhat challenged hearing, it's almost not worth the struggle to watch it. Does anyone know to whom I can complain about the pathetic captioning? Trying to find something light and funny to watch is difficult, and I admit to following "The Big Bang Theory." It's an interesting contradition in stupidity and intelligence. But then, aren't we all. Prayers gratefully accepted. God bless us all. SP
