The original cuts happened the afternoon of April 2nd. We are now at 1 month and 10 days (but who is counting!). Bill was released to move around in normal capacity on May 4th. He spent a few days getting around, climbing the stairs and gathering his strength. He is back in the main house now that he can maneuver the stairs again.
It is getting better. The darker skin is like a tan and that skin is slowly peeling off and under it is newer white/pink skin. One of the cuts has healed and the other two are close.
Although this still looks crazy it is slowly vanishing and really has not been the worst of the pain for Bill (that was the top of the shin). I equate this to a big blood blister, it just has to work its way out of the skin.
Everyone will be glad when this heals and they no longer are looking at Bill's healing leg. It really is better every day and we are very thankful to Dr. Park who was aggressive with the antibiotic treatments in the hospital. We feel that he surely saved Bill's lower leg.
