Hopefully that pain goes away soon. From the pics you can see it is healing, thank goodness! It looks so much better than from your other pictures. I know it may not feel that way, but it does.
I’ve heard a pressure wrap is thought to help to reduce scarring, as well as swelling.
Your pain tolerance has been amazing, in my opinion. And your upbeat attitude is helping you heal. Let us know how the pressure wrap goes.

How are you doing, NC?
I'm okay, thanks for asking. I went yesterday morning to get the mepilex and santyl reapplied and they rebandanged me.
Thing is, though, she gave me a really good scrub. A deep scrub. It's hurting pretty good right now in the worst spot but she said it'll be okay in a couple of days.
I think they almost have all of the dead tissue scratched off over the last few weeks of going up there on Mondays. Now it's down to just the wounds themselves, no litter around or left over. I'm getting a pressure wrap on next Thursday, dunno what that is, and I forgot to ask her what it was.
Other than that, I've been walking the tread and skipping a little bit of rope here and there, no pain at all over the last week until she got the scrubber out. Ha.
Here's a couple of pics I took yesterday, they're kind of graphic, though, so. I looks worse than it actually is, like I said, I haven't been hurting up untl the yesterday when she scrubbed it.
