Went to the doctors today to get the staples removed, but the skin is redder than he'd like so they only removed every other staple. Apparently the steroid that I'm on will tend to lead towards infection and slow healing, so this isn't entirely unexpected. What I *did* get was permission to shower and wash my hair.
You have to understand that part of growing my hair out when I was 13 was the negotiated requirement that I wash it every day. So pretty much for the past 19 years, I have. To then not do so for a couple of weeks has been really hard to cope with.
I also got the latest round of questions answered, the forms I need for short-term disability, the forms I need for a disabled sticker for the car, and all the usual.
Assuming I have a shower in the next 24 hours, I'm going to be up for visiting with folks soon after that. It would be good to interact with people over something other than a Blackberry.
