That’s good news and bad news. Very cheering that the infection seems to have been trounced; we were all a little worried by what you’d be facing if the antibiotics failed. Commiserations about a summer protecting it while it heals. Are there any nifty dressings that would cause less of a hindrance while ensuring the wound’s not knocked or bashed? On the other hand (pun intended) search out a fancy lounger, a few palm trees and flamingos, and sugar free Pimms for you and Mrs Urbs. Bermuda shorts too.Thanks @Fairygodmother
I am just back from the hospital where the consultant picked a lump of dead grey tissue out of my thumb leaving a hole about 10mm in diameter. With a big smile he tells me the wound looks 'pink and healthy'. I asked 'is all that going to grow back? He replies 'Yep, should do' and then 'come back and see me Friday, you don't need an appointment, just rock up at 9am'.
On the one hand I'm pleased that he thinks everything is going well, on the other hand (no pun intended) I am a bit down about the prospect of spending most of the summer bandaged up. And just as most people are starting to get back to some kind of normal.
