East, I'll be in bandages for at least twice that long. They're restrictive enough at the ankle that riding would be quite uncomfortable and I can't get my foot into my fashionable size 43 1/2 Sidis. Tres pout!

But anyhow, y'all, here's the latest. I didn't take pictures at the first dressing change, but I will at the next one, which is monday. They'll asses and change the wound dressings weekly or thereabouts. At this first dressing change, the ulcer itself was a little less yellow and gross and is still 6 cm across and shaped like Australia. The skin around it was MUCH improved, which gives me faith that these people know what's what.
