February 7, 2023 Subverted Selfie Project Post
February 7, 2023: Fresh from a long shower, the first since my stroke a week ago today, at around 10pm in the evening. I let the water run over my rash riddled skin, and cleaned it as best I could with the soap the orderly provided. I stood during the procedure, trying to reach whatever I could without wetting the area where my IV hookups were. I so needed it, as someone who showers twice a day, going a week had not been good for my mental health and it probably wasn’t helping my skin.
They still don’t know for certain why I have this rash. A doctor was going to do a biopsy today and got going on it: froze an area, did a preliminary cut but couldn’t continue as some stuff wasn’t included in the kit he asked for. So he’s going to bring a kit from his office in the morning. I did learn that he’s done these countless times before, just never on himself or on a speeding bus, or while flying a plane.
For those wanting to visit, it will probably be better not to until they diagnose the rash.
38/365.
