Had my third dressing change today. I went in worried that the nurse would judge me for having not just decided it is healed enough, but she followed complimenting how well it was healing by seeming pretty doubtful I wouldn't need yet another dressing after the one she was putting on.
While it may be healing it is still as clearly a wound as it was two weeks ago. Still only the same little piece that is nice pink scar, the rest is still scabby and unpleasant. The new bandage, at my request, is bigger and higher so restricts and is slightly annoying, but SO very much less painful. How much I had just put up with a bandage causing extra pain for two weeks says too much about how I don't take my own pain seriously. It is like I am a white male doctor listening to a woman of colour describe her pain and then writing it off as unimportant........
Went to New New New Corp's quiz with Tavendale again. And won for the third week running.
Gee Quiz quizzes are slightly unsatisfying to win at the best of times, and in a small bar it really fails to feel like a victory.
