How could I describe it.............
Hot, ITCHY (oh God it has been months since I've been able to do a full length arm scratch!). Now it is ulcerated and leaking fluids all the time. Nothing can feel as miserable as a wet sleeve. Removing my sleeve and pulling scabs off and more blood and leaking. Rubbing my hand on that arm and it feels like you're running your hand over a cheese greater. Nothing but a bumpy surface. That is my day.
Trying to find clothing now with sleeves large enough in diameter to allow my arm to fit - my daily challenge.
Ya, fun it ain't. It has swollen now to the point where arm movement is compromised compared to my right arm.
The hand goes up and down volume-wise but the arm is pretty steady for swelling.
Changing position at night, which I do often, the arm rubs against the fabric on the bed, bleeding and leaking starts anew.
Not getting a lot of loving from my gf right now but I understand!!
I've tried compression sleeves in the past but haven't found a decent one. Waiting for a new style one inbound from China.
But until otherwise, I'm alive and have hope still so I carry on.
Worried a bit for farming season, keeping it clean, covered and being able to do work with it, holding tools etc.
