Closeup detail

Although some of the area looks sore, it isn't. The patches around the side are actually healed. For some reason the higher area of my leg is healing first and the lower part is 'taking it time'.

This odd patchy 'gunk' on my leg doesn't come off at all, even in the shower. It would be too painfull to have the shower directly hit my leg but to have water run down my side or leg doesn't sting so much. It wasn't more than a month or so ago that to endure the stinging pain of a shower was almost unbearable. I like most people love taking a refreshing hot shower. I even got a Speakman! But alas, even the sensation of warm water involved serious stinging, like hot salty oil.

This thing is healing up that much is for sure. Its actually a tad strange slowly realizing that this is gonna' become a really large scar on my leg. In this bizzare patchwork of pink, red and what could be best described as 'gunk' there are areas of healed skin. I wish this would heal faster but everything seems to be running on its own schedule or clock speed. I'm just here for the ride. I take my meds, keep the leg clean and dry and hope for the best.

Before I started my treatment it was very difficult and a real pain in the ass to walk around, get things done, daily activity stuff. Presently I find incredable pleasure in walking the neighborhood, going nowhere in particular, listening to my ipod. I hate sitting around the apartment all day doing nothing except reading, watching TV and 'scratching my balls'. A lazy weekend is great but being forced into it for a few months isn't.

Anyway, i'm trying to come up with some kind unbelivable story to go with my unbelivable scar. Lazer accident in college? Chemical spill at the farm? Road rash? Giant mutant jellyfish attack?
