Inverell (Tuesday)

I headed of to the doctors first thing this morning to get all my wounds checked out. He didn't have much to say about my feet, but when I showed him the older one on my breast, he told me I needed a skin graft! That freaked me out a bit- my stomach was churning. After further discussion with the nurse, whom I understood much better, she explained that it will still heal, but it will be much slower, which I would expect. They are able to give me a referral to speak with a surgeon while I'm in Brisbane if I want, but honestly I'm not keen to have any more holes cut in me! It is healing slowly, but it is defiantly improving every week. Especially since my gp in tassie treated it with silver nitrate the week I left, getting rid of the hyper granulation. I have been seeing Toby for four years now and I trust his opinion. He was happy with my progress, so I tend to think surgery is not necessary.
I went and got a haircut from a nice girl with very colorful hair- she would give my Aunty Carol a run for her money, for half of what it would cost me in Melbourne! Got to love small towns!
Phil and I went for a push along the river, which was nice- it was a gorgeous day, I even took my thermals off. I have been looking for a pharmacy that stocks my dressings for my breast ever since I left Melbourne, going to at least a dozen stores with no luck. I finally found some today, in a tiny little chemist I was sure wouldn't have any. I was down to one dressing, so I was relieved to finally get some more.
I have been trying to catch up on my sleep the past few days, but it finally caught up with me this afternoon. I curled up on the sofa about 2 and didn't wake up until 5.30. I'm not feeling like I will struggle to go back to sleep either. Until tomorrow!
