6:57 Tricks tricks tricks. There was a big diesel engine in  the parking lot and the kitchen window was about 4 inches open from doing laundry. I was in the kitchen area and peeked through the blinds to see what makes that noise and saw right in front of me a woman climbing the stairs also with a grocery bag. A novelty. Didn't have time to see her face, just instinctively backed up.

Yesterday we both went to Whole Foods to pick a free same day delivery Amazon wound care item (which i haven't even used, i changed my mind) and at the entrance of the complex (time was 3:30) stopped a school bus, opened the doors while station on 65th which is unusual, they normally enter in the complex and then opened the door, about ten well groomed Latino kids got out, i got to wait for them to pass or until the bus started, a long couple of minutes while all traffic on 65th was stopped and drivers looking.

After Whole Foods we went at Walmart, me waiting in the car, after half hour i started the phone but was keeping it out the window on speaker to minimize exposure at the legs, one curly big haired fat guy came to pick the carts and it looked like i was taking picture of him etc. and it felt like it was dispatched. BTW why Walmart prefer to pay people to gather carts instead of adding more cart bays in the lot? (they are very few and distant).

Most time when i go in the kitchen to get some foods and it is predictable, they bring a car at the day care apartment (D5). When we go or come from somewhere people with little kids get out.

It feels like they are getting real tight at me.

7:10 Was experimenting with Optifoam. Engineered to keep the moisture inside and suck the exudate while maintaining a certain humidity which really accelerates would heeling.

Problem is i have very bad circulation in the left side of the foot and it gets worse with cold. When cold enough, all the surface blood vessels constrict to keep temperature in and that does not help with wound heeling but it promotes infection which comes from the eschar.

So i have to keep it warm, got a couple of heavy cuffs which heat up in the microwave for 30 seconds and keeps warm for several hours. Yes of course i checked the temperature with different thermometers, on and off, don't want more than body temperature at the wound.

I had a big setback on Sunday when i went outside with the puny shoes with no sole and the ground was cold and my foot got chilled and the skin next to wound infected really bad (red-blue purple). So i went back to antibiotics in patches, got 4 of them in 24 hours, was really bad, i thought i got it out of control and also wore the cuffs.

But then i saw the biggest granulation ever. First didn't know what to make of it, i thought it was adhesive from the optifoam. But then i quit wearing the cuffs, did not put optifoam anymore, not knowing where the infection was coming for and the next day the wound dried and i lost most of it so i went back to optifoam.

However my feet went cold from sitting at the computer (it is like in the morning, when i am better, i forget everything it happened the next day and now i'm back with vasoconstriction mediated infection with red-blue-skin and chills and i just put a patch, will take some oral.

7:30 Ordered a pair of shoes with one size up (will stuff something soft at the heel) with sole and everything and they were shown as free delivery tomorrow with prime. However when i looked at orders list they are shown to be delivered on Friday. Will order them again to see what happens.

Ok did order them again. LOL Canceled most recent order. Amazon hates me.

6:42 March annual apartment inspection on Thursday. Deep cleaning, found some weird white stuff on bathroom sink cabinet walls (inside), don't know what it was but smelled bacterial and human dead skin, just cleaned it. Now i stink like that stuff, got to take a shower. Could that have contributed to my never ending skin infection next to the wound.
