Connie foot update

Connie went a month after the last visit with the visiting nursing staff coming in every three days.  She also began working with a rehabilitation staff member to see if she could get strong enough to maybe get back on her feet.  About five days before her visit with the Foot God she developed this nice thing next to the original wound:

The Foot God didn't seem too horrified by this blood blister despite the fact that this is how the original wound started out.  According to him, the original wound had closed and formed a scab that eventually died, thus the white area.  At times fluid builds up under the scab and because it has no where to seep out through the scab it moves to the side of the wound.  He punctured the blood blister and drained it and then cut it away to make sure there wasn't any other underlying areas.  He also cut off the dead scab.

Everything looked healthy under the blister and the wound so he ordered the nurses to changed it every two days and told Connie to stay off her foot.  Back to the beginning it seemed, but the wound was still closed.  He will see her again in a couple of weeks.
