Thanks Mrs. D.

I looked at it this morning. I had put a clean piece of gauze on it last night and wrapped it lightly.

This morning, there was a light thing of dried blood on the gauce. The ulcer looked exactly the same as it always looked. No swelling, no pus, no nothing. In fact it looked exactly as it looked when he left the ortho's office last week when he picked up the shoes.

I just put a dollop of bacitracin on it and put a clean gauze and wrapped it. He's on the couch.

I told him "you go to the gym again, over my dead body".

And I have SOME DEAD BODY, let me tell you.

Oh, I just this minute went to check it. No blood, no nothing. It actually looks perfectly fine. I told him. Wear the boot for awhile, until it's all healed.
(Today's our 28th anniversary), and we are planning to just go around the corner for Japanese.

He then said "I don't want to call the doctor yet, let's give it a few days" I said "that's up to you, but wear the boot for a few days". He said:

That makes sense.

What do you think? Do I rush and call the doctor over two drops of blood or do we wait for a few days and see what happens.

And no gym, no bikes, no nothing. He can lift weights in the house.

thanks much.
