Week 7: Active Summer



It has been a very busy Summer. We have organized three basketball camps, and we ran two of them last week. I was too busy to post a blog article until now.

I have been wearing the Oxygener bracelet for over 7 weeks now, and applying moisturizer or aloe vera gel on the affected area of my right leg. During the time I have been busy with the camps, I have stood on my feet the entire 3 days of each camp. This causes some swelling, which also triggers itching of the skin. But now, after having 5 days of rest, my leg is healing again.

Looking at my Week 7 photos, I can see that the reddish areas on my leg has grown slightly in size, especially on my right foot. I believe the infection in my bone may have spread (in the bone) down to the bones in my foot. However the skin on my shin has become smoother and better in color. Also, after being off of the antibiotics for 8 weeks, I know my leg would have been much worse, if I had not performed this daily treatment. My liver and kidneys are able to do their jobs without any effects from antibiotics.

I will make an appointment in the near future to let the doctor see what happening in the bone. I will keep everyone posted.
