030/100 days of aspirin

After the excitement of yesterday, time to get into a new phase. Need to become more active. My injured leg has lost a lot of calf muscle from what I can see - all the bottom of the calf muscle is gone, and only the lumpier bit at the top remains. My thigh muscle remains adequate - it's been doing the bulk of the work, lifting up the leg and cast to keep it clear of things.

A treat this morning, a bath. A bit of a logistical issue, getting things to the right place in the bathroom, and getting in and out and dressed again, but managed it eventually.
The skin that came off though, not exactly in sheets, but in little rolls clumping white in the bright orange towel. Weeks of accumulated dead skin, soaked and loosened by the water. next time, I will pumice in the water. The wound looks quite neat, still some scabbing and it feels tender, but survived a bath and a quick patting dry.


Google street images, one of the kids playparks near here has the outdoor gym stuff in it, but I don't think it's the closest one. Wondering how far away it is, for a walk this afternoon...
