Oh, the side bruise.

.

I had stopped checking it.  It seemed to have become... stuck, at about three to four ounce sized, or so?  Hard, but not like a rock.  More like a thick pack of leather?  I gave up on it, as it wasn't shrinking, softening, or doing anything.  A few days ago, quite by incident,  I bumped the bump, so decided to check it while reminded of it.

It is much smaller.  It is now, probably down to one to two ounces (think of a burger patty, but made of leather).  And deeper in.  If I brush by it, on the surface of the kin, it can't be felt.  I have to push in, find it, to sense it.  Fantastic.  Still, I hoped it would already be gone.  It's at five months now?  Or so?  The first appointment I have listed was the second week of April.  Though, was I going in before then?  Sometimes I just changed that date to the next, so sometimes I removed the previous day.  But that might be about right?

I am almost sure there was another month of appointments, but no more?  Though, it did take a while to actually get in.  Maybe.  Which would mean only three, to four max, months?  Okay.  Okay.  I... can live with that.  The doc had thought it would take a year (give or take, and I think he was suggesting longer) to heal.  So... yes.  I guess that is okay.  Especially since the other wounds are healed.  A bit dry, and scaly, from time to time, but closed to bleeding.

Still amazed, even if I was sure it would, and wanted it to heal faster.  I know my doctor, and the staff, are... more than impressed.  Old, mostly dead, diabetics, are not supposed to heal well, if at all.  Though that leg wound is sure being a pita.  It is healing, but... slowly.  I will never let a wound go that long again.  I have less fear about going in, now that they use a functioning painkiller when they pick it raw.  And, their... methods seem to work.  Plus, I can clean and bind the wound, even at an odd angle on my ankle.  A difficult place to get to, even for people with some flexibility.

Happy.  I'm sort of back to fasting, since I couldn't get out today.  Water, best add electrolytes, medicine for now (though should start checking bp to make sure that isn't cratering).  But that helps remove the bruise, or has to date.  Later.

Back to bed?  Maybe, soon or late.  Having a difficult time keeping my eyes open.  And beginning to hurt again.  Later, or much later... as in goodnight.
