Boil is getting better.

Or, I should say, boils - Jenn, wonderful sister, has been helping me change the bandage and from her description it was definitely always two boils right next to each other. (They're badly situated right under the breast but near the arm, and honestly, the last time I tried to band-aid them I got the adhesive over the open wound.)

That explains why it hurt so much! But now it hurts less, and Jenn says it looks better.

Ow. Glad better is where you are.

Yikes! That sounds miserable. I'm glad they're getting better.

Have I said thank you before, for being one of my major sources of news during the pandemic? Your curatorship is excellent, and appreciated.

[conuly]

Aw, thanks! I mostly cut out the most interesting things from other curated sources, but I do try :)

Thanks to this I looked up what a boil is, and it's just infected hair follicles? Ahaha i get those ALL THE TIME. Usually in my cleavage instead of under my boob, so they don't get too bad unless I fuck them up. Like the time I treated one with undiluted Dettol on a cotton pad, under a plaster, and gave myself chemical burns.

On the one hand, I grimace at your clearly worse boil afflictions. On the other hand, I offer you the solace of: at least you haven't got self-inflicted chemical burns on your boil.
