He took off the dressing and I peeked (but not for long) and it's healing!!!Visibly. Much less like something took a chunk out of my leg. I had him take a photo (which I probably will NOT post--don't want to gross anyone out). Re-bandaged the leg, it hurt this time so I came home and just took two motrin. First time it's hurt this much but I suppose it's good....back to him on Tuesday.
Partying tonight at the Blaylock launch (no liquor of course).

I suppose the up side is that dead tissue can't hurt, but I hope it keeps doing more healing with less pain.

When you feel like it, post the pic. If people don't want to see it they don't have to look. I, for one, am interested in what the injury looks like, and not because I'm a weirdo (well . . . that's a matter of opinion . . .); but I'd like a visual regarding what you've been going through. You've had a rough time of it. Share the picture.
Look at it this way: you'll be helping out writers by providing them with a visual description. :P

Seriously, your injury was seriously bad. As bad as flesh eating bacteria gobbling up tissue, because, essentially, that's what it was.

A friend of mine died a few years ago from gangrene, which went to his heart in only a matter of days, killing him. The injury was to his arm, which was why the gangrene reached his heart so quickly. But once these super infections gain momentum they are quite life threatening.
So glad you're healing. I can't imagine this world without Ellen Datlow in it, and I mean this sincerely. (I'm reading Poe right now. Wow! LB's story is amazingly good, and very clever. The entire antho is wonderful. Great toc.)

And I'm delighted you're enjoying the antho.

I'll be posting it on my flickr site--can't do it here without a url.

Can't you embed the pic in your lj scrap book, and then post it in an entry? Not that I'm averse to Flickr or anything. I'll cruise on over and take a look.

I don't mean use your wound for an icon, but I sure got a laugh out of the idea. ;D
No, I meant any photo anywhere, in any format, can be converted to a jpg in paint then saved in your scrap book at lj.
Heh. You crack me up. ;)

With the only surgery I've ever had (yanno, that wasn't a tonsillectomy, where there's not much to see), I was decidedly ambivalent about the experience of seeing that I was, in fact, made of meat.
Weirdly though, I actually like to be able to see what's going on with medical procedures. Somehow, in my head, that's different from seeing the healing part.
Here's to minimal scarring and uncomplicated recovery!

No subways for me until it's totally healed. Buses--I can handle although I'm totally paranoid about being kicked or jostled on the shin.

You can also post the pics to Flickr or other such site, then post the url here, so folks can look if they want.
