True agony.

.
.
Not sure why the wound sites are carrying on so.  Debriding, at this point, may just be too much.  I think I will be delaying the next process for a couple of weeks.  Looking before going even then.  Is half their job to push people out, causing enough pain that they don't come back?  That is... part of the process?

Brutal.  My leg has been killing me since the topical wore off.  I changed bandaging, that did nothing.  Asleep or awake, the pain is just too much.  I am out of my milder form of lidocaine.  There is amazon, but they take a week to three weeks these days..  Just... if I can find it local, that would be much better.  I think I looked.  It seems more expensive, but isn't that much more expensive after amazon adds whatever, and assuming what you get from amazon is legit.  On anything you are wanting, that is compounded or chemically patented, you have, I would say, a 50/50 chance.  Even then you may pay too much.

Then again, I am not absolutely certain local shops carry legit.  Their sources may be no better than yours, at this point.  Maybe never were much better?  We don't... live in America, anymore.  You can't afford legit, assuming it still exists.

Another change of bandages, but no honey this time.  That stuff is good, but I won't use it every time, not on larger wounds, not on wounds being debrided.  Maybe right initially when it is done.  But I need to change that out within a day or two, and maybe again in a similar length of time.  Just too brutal.  I'm not afraid of pain, but I'm not into it either.  This has been like little fires lit, extinguished, then covered.  Too much.  Feeling every so slightly better, though with some tylenol down the tube, but that couldn't be acting yet.  Just the salve replacing the honey.

The knee hurts too.  He debrided that area this time.  Why this time, not before?  Can't say.  The bruise?  Not sure.  The postage stamp sized portion, too, remains cranky.  I thought that would be healed by now.  Nope.  It's... taking it's time.  I bandage it from time to time, but leave it open about equal amounts of time.  frustrating that healing, hits, misses, moves on, slows down, hurts, stings, dries up, then... goes through it all all over again.

Agony.  If you are into pain, I've got your ticket.  Won't even leave much of a scar, in time.  I've had roadrash before, decent patches of it.  But have no scars.  Some people just have skin that heals more completely?  But, for your satisfaction, it may hurt twice as much for it?  Later.
