susandennisMy instructions are to change the bandage every 2 days. So today was one of those days. When I pulled it off the first time, the would was the same color as my regular skin.
But, today, it was red. Well, NOT red, more of a pink or maybe even dusty rose. It felt the same when I touched it - both to my fingers and there was no soreness but I don't like that it changed colors.
They told me to put vaseline on the bandage but all I had was vaseline with cocoa butter. Turns out Google tells me that that could be the culprit. I dug out a tiny jar of vaseline that I keep in my swim stuff and used that when I put on the new bandage.
Next change is Monday. I'm going to be very cautious until then. No more swimming until the pink is gone. Also no more yoga or tumbling or marathon running or salsa dancing.
But I needed more vaseline and Amazon let me down. Probably supply chain shit. So I walked up to the drug store. The drug store is normally a scooter riding situation. It's not actually that far but it is uphill. But, I thought walking won't really hurt it, will it? And steps since no swimming. So I walked. Probably not wise. But I did make it there and back with their last jar of pure petroleum jelly. So score.
Laundry is laundrying and I still need to dumpster. And then I'm doing nothing.
