Day 6 - I'll be here for a few days
The local clinic here in Idyllwild is a very nice place to get medical help. I saw Brenda, the NP and she didn't cut on or otherwise hurt me but did prescribe antibiotics, seven days worth. The Pharmacist suggested probiotics to go along with the antibiotics so I have those to take as well. Add in soaking with epsom salts and my plan is to be healed enough to get back on the trail by Friday or Saturday. Hopefully my toe will go along with the plan.

Gotta get that healed up fast.... six days on the trail is waaaay to early to be having medical issue.
ReplyDeleteYou got that right John. So far so good and I'm thinking I'll be good to go soon. Kind of embarrassing though to haul off so soon...
DeleteGlad you are taking care of your toe, Shelly, before it got any worse. When feet talk, we gotta listen. Hope you 'heel' quickly. (Sorry, couldn't help myself.) -- julie o.
ReplyDeleteThanks Julie. I'm getting feedback from everyone around me to wait till it's completely healed......noooooooo!
DeleteComforting to know that you're taking care of yourself, and that you have great friends to take care of you, too!! Cristie
ReplyDeleteAbsolutely nothing to be embarrassed about. Better to take care of it now than to ruin the rest of your trip. Obstacles are bound to come in your way during your journey. The trick is to problem solve and then get on with achieving your goal. You have a good head on your shoulders.
ReplyDeleteThere once was a gal named Shel
ReplyDeleteWhose trek started off quite swell
But then that damn toe
Did make things go slow
Here's hoping it all turns out well!
