Glad your arms are responding and have not worsened!
Oh I am so sorry! I should have been more clear. I didn't mean on the incision itself that would not be good due to germs but, around it say out 2-3" from the actual incision and then go in larger circles away from the site if you can or when you can. I'm so sorry your pain is worse.. though it is hard, try and stay optimistic that this is healing pain.

Sending good vibes your way...

I am with you now, I understand. Brain is not functioning so well, lack of sleep Benadryl usually knocks me out, but it is not doing it now. Itching so much...ugh!

Yeah, I am hoping it is healing pain and maybe it is worse because of the allergic reaction!

I've had some chills on my left side around my ribs round to my back. Freaks me out because I've had some muscle spasms in my ribs/chest that feel very scary, and I'm afraid the chills will set it off. I hate getting dressed on a cold morning!!!

Really glad to hear your wound is behaving a bit better than it was. Take care of yourself.

Thanks for giving me a reason to chuckle this morning.. I loved your reason for editing "muppetry" not sure what that meant really but it did give me a chuckle since all I could envision was Beaker, Kermit & Gonzo dancing around. IDK.. why I thought that was funny, thanks!

Ditto for me Bram. I laughed at the Muppetry comment too. I don't know what that really means but it made me laugh. I thought of Kermit the Frog when I read it. You are so funny! Thanks for making me smile as well. Take care my friend.
