Super OWIE on the shot!Originally Posted by Catrin
Oh yes, he says that the more active I am the better it is for it keeps the blood moving in my leg - so I can construe that as a prescription for cycling
I am a huge pain weenie (I found the series of HepA/B shots I got for travel pretty painful, while my DH hardly felt 'em -- one left me sore for a week+ also), so I DO feel your pain.
On the bright side, it's great that you can ride -- and it's actually therapeutic!

Rain and wind PLEASE go away so I can follow my dr's orders and ride - thankfully I CAN go to spinning class tonight. I would far rather ride outside however, but such is life. I will take what I can get

The wound actually feels less sore today
Apparently that horrible shot was needed! Now I just want to see some signs of actual healing so I can avoid the wound care center - though Dr did say yesterday he saw some signs of it - just not as much as he wanted to see.
Hopefully the weather will allow me to ride tonight so I can further assist the healing process - after all I should follow medical advice

Progress
Thankfully the very painful shot appears to have given the wound the chance to close
It is still sore, and I suspect that it will take some time to fully heal underneath the skin, but I am less concerned about it now. Still won't tell my family, they assume it is healed by now and I don't want them to worry further.

Glad things are better. Good idea to not tell your family.
