Minor setback....

...sorta. I seem to be having an allergic reaction to something topical. It's not a medication I'm taking because the rash and itching is localized around the incision. It itches SO BAD I want to just rip the skin off. Actually, I have in several places. Oopsie! I'm either allergic to the sutures, which would be really bad.

Not too steep...but more than my legs can take right now. I really paid for it later. I've developed these weird bruises around my ankles and up my leg right over the anterior tibialis. Showed up after the bike ride. Have I said oops yet? :)

Oh well, it's still moving forward. I'm seeing the doc tomorrow though, just to make sure that it's all still ok. They look nasty...much worse than this time last week. As I keep being reminded, BABY STEPS! It's just so hard! I'm tired of just sitting around, and it's so beautiful out, and ....
