Actually I have to wait for paperwork to arrive from Iowa. And I do have to go to see the nice lady at Country Doctor for a referral to the Wound Care clinic. The paperwork will be there and back by the time the appointment I made this afternoon comes around - it's not until the 11th. It's the soonest I could get in and not miss a whole day's work.

This comes just in time - the skin outlying the area has been red and tight and sensitive for a while, but the adhesive tape's been making a mess of it in a big way the last week or so. It's starting to be its own problem, and one that's been hard to solve. I'm still a little worried about the coverage running out - it's only $10K and $2k of that has already been absorbed by the sky-high price tag on the ER visit on the day of the accident....
