5:12 AM It wasn't until the apartment filled with smoke from outside that my pain stopped.

Pain awoke me at 3:30 AM. Both from the wound (burning) and from diarrhea, because there was a poop next to hydrant all day yesterday (in fact, 3 small pieces).

Trouble is Angela awoke too because she can feel my pain. First, she was talking in her sleep while i was hurting and cursing at the boot (in my mind) then she fully awoke.

Yesterday we both went at Walmart to get some wound supplies. As i said, could not find rolls of gauze (the good ones, 4 inches wide, made of cotton, just ordered some online). The stretching ones made of synthetic materials always tight the wound, cutting blood circulation. Towards the evening she found a cotton one forgotten in a bag.

But it could not help me much because yesterday i used the boot they gave me two weeks ago at the Wound Care Center. Mostly to keep me warm.

The tiny woman who bandaged my wound and gave me the boot could not adjust it herself because that boot is made of two metal bars full of Velcro. You are supposed to align the cushion part with the two bars and stick it to them. But it requires some force to do it. So she let me adjust it.

There was little time left from the visit so i did it in a hurry. Then they sent me to the lab where my CRP was elevated. It means inflammation. With the cushion on, you can't really see the boot is crooked. I never took a good look at until now.

I did an X-ray and was also supposed to do and MRI that was ordered after that. I walked towards the X-ray lab with my boot on.

But first, look at the boot. My foot barely fits there in the narrow area without the cushion. With the cushion it stays really tight, cutting circulation, especially after tightening in the upper side with the Velcro strips.

But after tightening of the Velcro strips it also stays in there crooked (and you do not realize it), with the ankle pressing on the left metal bar. There is a picture of my leg after i came from Walmart. The area was bruised. Later it became painful. Pain went deep inside.

5:40 Today i have another appointment there. He keeps asking for the MRI. How the MRI is going to come out after wearing that boot? I keep telling Angela how may times we have been screwed by doctors, starting with her botched radiation therapy that destroyed other organs. But there is no stopping her when it comes to taking care of me.

My wound in the maxilla that again took months to granulate and heal, while i ate with a straw, rinsed with salt water and took antibiotics for several months. My fractured jaw last year at the dentist, etc..

No i did not wear the boot much, only about three or four times. That day when they gave it to me. At least once when i went to pick the poops, last time with 4 F15s passing above. Yesterday at Walmart. But my mind is not working in real time when the apartment is intermittently flooded with smoke.

Yes i noticed that area left of the wound was bluer and swollen all the time and had a never healing infection.

Today after another week i have another appointment there. Angela went to work at 6 and she is comming back at 11 so we can go.

Just checked my blood pressure. It is elevated because i am stressed out. 160/89. But is not 214 over 108 like it was in there last time. They took it 4 times. The machine kept inflating, like three times each "attempt". It started something in the 180s/90s and then escalated. They put on the chart the biggest.

7:05 Just looked at the chart. He said a week ago he did a debridement though he told me he was going to remove just the pieces that are about to fall out. There is a picture of it (can see office cabinets in the background). When i got out they were asphalt fumes from a construction nearby. However in that day i did not wear the boot. In that day i showed him and posted an image showing visible progress of the wound in ten days without debridement.

I did not have any progress in the last 7 days. There are many things wrong in that note, including. He did not do nail debridement. There is no abnormal nail shape. He did not update my A1C since last test from 10.2 to 8.1. My blood pressure came elevated due to a broken or manipulated machine. Size of partial debridement was about 1 sqcm not 3. I was not referred to him by dr.Tomczak but by dr.Moore etc..

7:26 Yes i do have to wear a mask inside to mitigate with some of the smoke. Still dealing with the damage (bruising) and pain done yesterday by the boot.
