Glad you got the infection under control. I know how it reeks when what makes one pain better makes another pain worse. You feel danged if you do and danged if you don't.

Hang in there & do what ya gotta do.

It was so painful!!! ..I thought i need to force my skin to get use to it again, but I guess, it will never be. Just the thought of wearing pants or the very though of the cool weather makes me anxious.
