Sorting out the morning. Still dark, overcast, possibly wet, and cool to cold out there. And it creeps in. But... fine.
I changed the bandaging, and it went really well. No lidocaine needed. I should have changed it earlier. By the looks, it seemed minor. But, when opened, it had filled the bandaging with blood a bit more than it seemed. Fine. Live and learn. I have a better idea of what to look for, so when to change it.
Though... I... had feared changing it. As much as it has hurt recently. Cleaned it, added the honey poultice, and put it back together. As well, put a compression sock on, but just on that ankle/leg. Since I plan on shower again today, I didn't want to put something larger, longer on. And, I didn't want to put it on both legs. This way I have compression for just the wound, short term, and easily. And a pair of socks gives me, say, six days instead of just three... if I fail to work through things a quickly as possible. One sock will last three days. If I use a pair only for the wounded leg, then I have six days. May not make sense. Just consider it efficiency, or triaging wound care over water elimination. Ugh.
Coffee earlier. Maybe another shot of the stuff in a bit. To warm up as well as... Hmm, nope. Out of cream. I'll have to have tea. And a shower in a bit too. Then, dishes started? And see where laundry is? I am, mostly, getting started on things. But not at great speed. Later.
