I have a lot of digital friends. No, they are not synthetic, but rather I know them from various online communities. A few of them are docs, and have chimed in on my recent injuries. The latest was the comment that, "if you can see the bone, assume it's infected."
Well, you could see bone, so...
One of my problems is I tend to spin out on stuff, with health issues being a speciality. So far I've been pretty good, but at the moment I'm a bit on edge. I really don't want sepsis or staph in my knee or foot. I'm doing everything that I'm supposed to. I saw a plastic surgeon to get guidance on how to care for the wound. Am very careful, and am on antibiotics. Tomorrow I see my regular doc to have him check it out and I also need refills for drugs (only have a couple of days of antibiotics left and I'm out of vicodin. So we'll see what the doc says tomorrow (other than, "what in the world were you doing on a motorcycle?!?"). But right now I'm just tired and a bit terrified. And that's no way to go through life. Then again I've done it for quite a few years, so I should be used to it. But I'm tired of being tired. So I'm working on not being. Tired that is.
