Definitely On the Mend

Yes, I am still taking antibiotics and still have an open incision with some packing in it, but overall, I am feeling like my "normal" self. Whatever that is! Slowly digging out from the clutter that accumulated when I was requiring things like four hour naps and was generally to sick to do much tidying up. Back at work for the whole week, and it wasn't exhausting. Mind you, I do manage to log plenty of sleep at night right now, but I am chalking it up to the general healing process, so I'm not complaining. I am hopeful that I'll only have to have the incision tended to a couple more times at the urgent care. Once the packing is removed for good and the incision is allowed to heal over, I should be able to return to showering that doesn't require having part of me swathed in plastic. Very inconvenient swathing yourself in plastic to shower and then trying to keep the plastic-wrapped part dry!

That's about where my life is these days. Now to sort through the mountain o'laundry that I have to start chipping away at. I do feel the need to wash EVERYTHING I own with hot soapy bleach water at this point. And dry it on high. Just to ensure that Mr. Staph is dead and buried.
