Treat your feet like you would an infant child. Not a clever infant either,one that would stick its hand in a fire

All great advice...You'd approve of my drawer full of white crew socks. I buy 'em all the same brand and style. Probably about 15 pair. The oral antibiotic prescribed for me is called doxycycline mono 100 Mg. Twice a day. Dunno what was in the 3 different IV antibiotics they gave me, but they were "aggressive" according to my RN daughter who had access to the info. Must be working, the wound seems to be healing nicely now.
Tobra, I promise...no more outside excursions without white socks.
