Still getting better a tiny bit at a time. The rash on my leg continues to improve slightly, but it still itches. I don't have any of the cortisone ointment that [personal profile] lindadee suggested, but I do have sunburn ointment with lidocaine and aloe vera, and that does keep the itching somewhat at bay.

After one cold, wet day where I restarted the fireplace, it has warmed up a bit again. This allows me to go back to wearing shorts. Those of you who came by our table at Norwescon were able to chuckle at the sight of me in floral shorts (actually swim trunks), which were the only ones I could find that fit me the last time I shopped for shorts. I don't wear them often, but it helps my leg because not having cloth rubbing on the bite rash reduces the irritation.

I took pictures again today, but there's only a little bit of change since yesterday of my legs. If you're curious, the latest pictures are here and here.

I can walk much better now, but my right leg does continue to itch badly. The rash may be subsiding slightly. I have no other ill effects, and I can still feel my feet, so I'll keep soldiering on and hoping that the antibiotics will continue to do their job and I can get by with just continuing to apply topical anti-itch ointment.
