Continuing leg problems
Fact of the matter: Every morning when I get out of bed, my legs hurt.
The spot that has been on my leg for more than a year now has other spots to keep it company. Now I’m wearing leg braces to stop the spots from starting to bleed.
So after a night of sleeping in these leg braces, my legs are sore.
The good news is that for the past few days there have not been any new spots bleeding, and the older ones are finally healing. But until they heal completely, I will have to deal with pain.
Fortunately, my niece Rebecca has just finished getting her nursing degree, so she’s been coming by daily to change my bandage. She’s a lot better than my mother, who seems disgusted by the sores on my leg.
