So I seem to be a bleeder and have been continuing to soak through the dressings on my wound - so I'm still having dressing changes twice a week instead of once. However, the dead yellow gross stuff on the surface of the wound is coming away and the hole is shrinking!!!

I am so relieved you are getting treatment. You have no idea how worried I was that you were gonna end up with an amputation!

Personally, I think if you're getting your dressing changed twice a week, even if it is from more bleeding than average, that's a good thing! All that bleeding is flushing the really yucky stuff out, right?
Yay! So glad you're making such great progress!

Same for me. I was truly worried for you and couldn't believe what happened. Originally Posted by KnottedYet

I'm happy Richard is vanishing, and hope he'll soon be history.

Hey Hip,
How's Sir Richard? I'll visit your blog to see if you've noted anything there.

There are new pics in my livejournal.
Today's valentine's day visit to the wound clinic revealed Richard to be down to 4.2 cm across (from 6.5!) and shaped more like a heart than ever. I heard it mentioned by the staff a number of times. :-)Aperte mala cm est mulier, tum demum est bona. -- Syrus, Maxims

goodie!
Hip! Good to hear Sir Richard is decreasing in size.
How much pain are you in? Any idea of how long it will take to fully heal?
Take care of yourself
