learnteach1. I do not make a good patient. People taking care of me == me failing, in my brain. Being bored makes me want to do stupid things. Stupid in the sense of "Not Lay on the Couch/Bed and Heal."
2. I am fortunate. This is a relatively painless wound.
3. The surgeon is from the same medical group as the clinic that treated me in November; based on that experience, the billing Tangle (like a Tango, with more paperwork) is going to be quite a dance. Thinking Masochism Tango by TL for the music, but it's way too short.
4. It is healing, slowly. The wet to dry bandage provides some mechanical debridement.
5. Garter Belt: The only way to hold the bandage in the right place for an inner thigh wound. I've tried everything else, and a garter belt works best. Who woulda thought?
6. It irritates me that my big teaching commitment this year...is now blown out of the water. Dammit.
7. Social commitments for the next month? Back seat to healing. Dangit.
8. I am glad to have this resolved (hopefully.) The re-injury was truely frightening.
