Almost late.

Wound clinic appointment today.  Early afternoon.  Almost didn't make it.  I had the first alarm set for nine, the second for eleven.  I didn't get to bed until 05:30.  So... yea, waking was difficult.  I almost... no... I did out sleep the alarm, and the snoozes.  The last one is fifty after the given hour.  I just barely rolled out at three to noon.  Thankfully I didn't miss it.

I had to shower, shave, brush my teeth, and dress.  Couldn't feed Sassy, just no time by the time I realized the problem.  She survived.

Then, out, in the vehicle, and?  I was almost out of fuel.  So, on the way in, I had to stop.  I could have made it to the hospital, clinic, but not to a gas station afterward.  I wasn't sure I'd make it.  Though, they generally give fifteen minutes after in order to show up.  Still, I was sweating the numbers.

I made it, pretty much, right on time.  At least within five minutes.  Glad I did.

The news was very good.  While I am not eating 155 grams, let alone 200 grams, of protein, I am eating more.  Something between 100 and 125, is about what I am up to.  Plus, I am adding the collagen in, and having more fat.  Far from perfect, but... better.  And keeping my weight at 234 today, and generally between 230 and 240.

As it turns out, the wound has improved 17%.  But... at this point, after improvement after improvement, if in the three to seven percentage points, that is a big improvement.  Meaning the wound is much smaller whole.  As well, he didn't feel the need to debride.  Ugh... always nice.

They just looked, patched it, gave me a few bandages, and sent me on my way.  Compression is really helping, and those other things.  I could only imagine if I could keep the protein at that requested level.  Even the doc, though, said that was a tough call.

It's staying cool enough, for now.  In the house of the flinstones.  :p  Though I best get the boots off, and put on the more full compression.  As well as the shorter compression, I have regular socks on too.  I do pretty good with less.  Maybe shorts?  If that isn't too cold.  Yes, I really am tolerating heat to the point where 77 F can seem cool, even cold, to me... with a fan going.

Yes, I bought burritos, while out.  Food.  It isn't the absolute perfect, by all accounts.  But it is so much better than most fast food, somehow.  And, with beans, rice, and beef, I am getting a lot of protein in there, if some carbs too.

On with things.  Maybe back to a nap?  Later.  Or... much later.
