I was on such a great run of posting often and for a while there, every day. I have not been walking since the Walking Challenge ended but I have been riding Mark’s E-Bike almost everyday.
I try to peddle the whole time I am riding but I think I may be fooling myself in how much exercise I’m getting. Some days, I return from a ride feeling pretty well spent and other days, I hop right off and continue my day.
The boo-boo on my arm continues to ooze and grow a bit. The odd thing is the bite that I presume started this whole thing is healing and getting smaller. The area next to it continues to be a large oozing patch. It is not painful, but it is itchy.
Nice, huh?! For anyone concerned about such a lovely wound, let me assure you it is not infected. It is not warm. It is not painful. The ooze is clear and frankly, quite tasty. I am keeping it covered and changing the bandage twice daily. I am using an ointment they prescribed for me. And I am taking an antibiotic twice a day.
The main problem is that with all my heart and lungs issues, plus my body’s age estimated somewhere in the 80’s, I am a slow healer.
