Ugh. I've been so frustrated for the past 24 hours because I have been reminded of my mobility vulnerability. I had plans for the beginning of the week which included significant baking and exterior decorating. I have the ingredients lined up and my pans are ready. Unfortunately, my plans have been stymied by an enraged ingrown hair on the edge of my tibia.
I'm amazed how an utterly benign looking pimple could create so much discomfort. I felt it forming over the weekend and immediately began my mitigation protocols. I managed to keep the sore from growing and breaking so I am going to consider the efforts a success.
The tiny sore on my tibia ruled all of my activities yesterday. I thought about it when I was walking the dog, when I was making dinner and every single time I was called into another room to answer a question or to find a lost item. My limb was prominent throughout the day as I tried to avoid the pain that was caused when my socket pressed against my tibia.
Pain is exhausting. I was so tired last night yet I felt like I had accomplished so little. This morning the sore is still there but is not as prominent. I am going to continue to protect it as much as possible. I really don't have time for skin issues right now.
