You have been warned. :blobcat_dizzy: </p><p>It's been quite a day. Mum and I did some groceries and we brought the used needles to the pharmacy (I needed a few shots after the second surgery). We had several walks with Sir Little Noise™, as UPJ calls him, or Weener Bas for us simple folks. :ablobcatangel:</p><p>My leg is sore, swollen, warm, and constantly pushing out more of the damned second hematoma. Still, mostly thanks to Bas, I managed to get about 8k of steps today. 🐾</p><p>Without my handful of pain meds😓, I would not be able to move much at all, let alone get some sleep. As I mentioned, the second hematoma is coming "through", and it comes with swellings that get into new positions every day, like the edema like swelling is constantly on the move... This means my skin can become quite tight and hard in places. And some of them are definitely warmer than my usual skin temps. But, according to the hospital and the GP, as long as there's no fever and/or signs of infection, it's apparently all part of the healing process. And the hip area went through a huge bit of trauma, which will need quite some time to be able to heal up. 😔</p><p>So, to help that process, I need to keep moving as much as is wise. I need to use my cold packs every now and then. And I need some sleep as well. Sir Little Noise™ does his best with night time cuddles and snuggles. But without the meds/pain killers, I'd be a big mess!</p><p>Mum measured my latest scar, as UPJ was wondering about it's size... It's about 24cm, which came down to about 9,5inch, according to the measuring tape. I had estimated it at about 20cm, so it's even bigger than that. 🫣 The size of the current swollen area of the hematoma is even bigger/wider than that.</p><p>I used an edited snap of the first hematoma that came through for a blog post a while ago... I will add it here. It was made on 14/07. I'll ask mum to grab a new snap tomorrow, before she'll put the special ointment on (as it gives a while color to it all). I'll edit that snap then too, to make it a little less personal...</p><p>This was the blog post that I used that image for:<br><a href="https://cynnisblog.wordpress.com/2025/07/19/end-the-pain/" rel="nofollow noopener" translate="no" target="_blank"><span class="invisible">https://</span><span class="ellipsis">cynnisblog.wordpress.com/2025/</span><span class="invisible">07/19/end-the-pain/</span></a><br>Hopefully <span class="h-card" translate="no"><a href="https://fuzzies.wtf/@altbot" class="u-url mention" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">@<span>altbot</span></a></span> knows what the image shows and will be able to make a suitable text for it, as I don't think "reddish hematoma and almost two week old scar" is all that...<br>Ow, found a snap that mum made on the 23rd of July, so gave that a silly edit to add to this post as well. </p><p>Waiting for the meds to kick in. 😊 When mum goes to bed, then hopefully Sir Little Noise™ will hop on the bed, give me a cuddle, and then snuggle up so we can hopefully have a few hours of snoozing together.</p><p>Hope you're having a good time! And, as I often need to tell myself these days (thank stupid pain and lack of decent sleep): remember to be kind, not just to others, but to yourself as well. :ablobcatheartsqueeze:</p><p>:pixy_party: 💜 🍀 🐾</p><p><a href="https://beige.party/tags/PixysJourney" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>PixysJourney</span></a></p><p>Edit: saw I made a mistake when I read the Toot, should be better now. 😊</p>
