    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.

    However I can't endorse the "hooray", I just can't believe how much you had to go through just to get treated. Geez, it would almost have been the same time for you to move to Canada as a student and become eligible for care!!!

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

    (that's why I put a "?" after the hooray. )

    As long as your leg heals, that's all I care about.

    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. :-)

    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

    Definitely looking healthier! How ever did you manage that heart shape, tho??
    Taking progression photos is such a good idea. Lets you see the shrinking of Richard, bit by bit. Very encouraging!!

    I was very impressed by how much better the surrounding skin looks. Wonderful.

    Richard is trying to hold on to his "earl-hood" and endear himself by transforming into a heart for valentines day. Don't fall for it! Be ruthless!
