September 20, 2023 Subverted Selfie Project Post September 20, 2023: I’m so exhausted today. I haven’t had a chance to pick up my two week supply of medicine and probably won’t get time to do it till tomorrow. Yesterday was spent mainly at the hospital as a wound care specialist treated my feet, using special tools like good old fashioned scalpels to cut and scrape away the dead skin and a few calluses on my toes and feet. When she treated my right foot I could see it still bleeds, but she said that’s a good thing as it means the tissues are still being fed by the body. Still healing. One toe had signs of fungus growing and they are going to get me on a cream and medication to treat that starting today or tomorrow. I guess they’re giving me another prescription so it’ll be tomorrow as I don’t go into the hospital till after my class, which I didn’t finish my readings for. So I’m behind but somehow I’ll catch up with it this week. I wanted to get up early and finish it but slept through a dozen alarms I’d set on my iPhone and my Fitbit watch. Fun. I don’t know if I should take my Tylenol 3. My foots in pain again, but that medication sometimes makes me sleepy and given that I’m already tired as fuck, I figure I shouldn’t take it till tonight. I’m guessing I only have about 10 days left or the daily antibiotic IV regiment left which would be nice to stop to get a bit of my days back. But even last week when they measured my swelling, it showed signs there is still some infection in my system. But it’s healing. The wound specialist gave me a prescription that allowed me to get a second offloading shoe yesterday, so both my feet have them now. The other foot has always been better but pressure on it was still making the smaller wound slower at healing, and she said I probably should have had both feet in offloading shoes from the beginning. Okay. Time to get up. It’s moments like these when my body is physically wrecked and I fall behind with some of my responsibilities that I just want to stay in bed all day but I have too much to do to fall into that trap again.

September 13, 2023 Subverted Selfie Project Post September 13, 2023: Today marks day 31 of my daily IV regiment. I still get to do this for at least 11 more days. When they redo my bandages, my big toe still looks swollen, but the nurses take measurements of the wound’s circumference & depth, & they assure me it’s getting smaller. I can’t look when they measure the depth, they use some kind of small, white, plastic rod - pressing into the middle of the wound, to take a measurement. The fear I might have to have some of my toes amputated seems to have subsided. But today my right foot has had pain shooting through it as I walk, even with my offloading footwear in place as I hobble around. I haven’t taken any of the strong prescription painkillers they gave me in over a week but I think I may down one when I get home. Today’s been a long day. I was up past 1am cleaning Mom’s garage, which I’ve allowed to get very unorganized in recent years. I filled up our two recycling bins, plus our garbage bin. Two of her neighbours, who are away, gave me permission to use their bins if needed, so in addition to Mom’s, I filled a third recycling bin, & a second garbage bin belonging to one neighbour, & I got from the other neighbour, a fourth recycling bin half full. The main motivation in doing this was to clear space so Mom’s old washing machine & dryer could be taken away, & new ones installed. The new ones look like something out of one of the new Star Trek series. The two Samsung units are black, sleek, with minimal lines, no curves, & perfectly circular, but flat doors. You can even pair the units to your internet connection & control them with a smart device. I missed my first Art History class though, waiting for the delivery people who came right in the middle of their delivery window of 11am-4pm. I had gotten up at 6am & worked until they came, to ensure they had lots of space. I still have a lot to organize but a huge chunk is done. It’s a start to something I should have done a long time ago. Tomorrow, I need to make an appointment with my doctor for my physical, & I also need to reschedule an appointment with my psychiatrist who I missed yesterday because I slept in. Aren’t I the responsible one? (256/365)
