The hands are improving.

.

.

Two days of keeping the hands wrapped in gloves of some sort or other, and with oil initially, and balm finally, on them the whole time, they are improving.  Beyond, having them wrapped and balmed is helping to keep me warm.  So warm I am giving them a break, taking the gloves off a bit as I get ready for bed, roughly... head in that direction.  

There are still parts which look like they were seriously burned.  The main knuckle of my left thumb, and around it as if it was dipped deeply into boiling water, oil, or lead... is very rough.  That just doesn't make sense though.  Perhaps, as suggested, first having it subjected to the cold, then pouring boiling or very hot water over drinks or breakfast, and that getting it?  By why very small areas?  My left ring fingers' smallest joint, the left fleshy edge of my palm next to the thumb, and several other places have it.  As if terribly burned.  I would even say burned clear through to the last layer of skin or deeper.  I have been working or healing these for weeks now.  It is just slightly improving.  Even so, it still looks burned.

I won't keep the door open, to the downstairs, anymore.  The girls scratch me, to wake me.  Not good.  Being diabetic, I don't heal well.  Less so with as sharp as their claws are.  More, I don't realize I was scratched from some time.  If I catch them, I can put on some bandaging and salve, which helps.  Otherwise I may well end up with scars.

It'll just have to be cooler at night.  But, with the gloves, and pj's, plus long sleeve t-shirts, it'll do.  As to what seems to be stigmata?  No change.  They are what they are, whatever is causing them, balm and gloves and keeping them dry and out of the air doesn't help those wounds.  So be it.  Stigmata?  Hey, if it looks like it, and resembles it, I'll roughly call it that.  Not really for me to say.  Then again, who could say for sure.  I just call it what it looks like.  So far, though, just the palms this time.  It hasn't gone all the way through again.  And my leg wound isn't weeping.  So...

Oh, those chops were tops.  Sam got some, and to nibble on the bones, after I nibbled on them.  She has finer teeth, and truly loves bones.  Even when I strip them done, she'll enjoy the chew.  Strangest cat I have ever had, but all good.  A cat after my own heart?  :)  Love my girls.

Another hot something or other.  Maybe just a protein tea?  Blood sugar is high.  But shouldn't be.  Two fatted coffees (about 200 calories total), .66 pounds of pork chop meat, and a chia breakfast of about 300 calories.  I've been careful with the sweetener.  Hmm... but... I have been adding milk.  Small amounts, but maybe that was enough, or... too much?  Yea, I... just have to watch everything.  Then again... I'm not sure.  I'll just be more careful, no more milk, I just... don't know.  Maybe too much protein?  Ugh.

Well, on to the beginning of shutting down.  Goodnight.
