Didn't do much during the day, still resting that foot. I have tried to improvise a foot shower cap so I can get clean with ease. Previously my technique involved wrapping my footsies in a towel, standing about a metre away from main water impact area and bending under- mostly done with a flannel and bit of an achey back. So I have now tried wrapping them in plastic bags (image #1) and tucking it into the top of the bandage to create a seamless barrier against th...

Was planning on going up the mountain today to Doi Suthep but it was a loose idea as never know what the weather will be like. Was aiming to head late afternoon. When I changed my bandage my foot was rather blue, a moment of concern until i realised it was the colouring from the cheap flips rubbing off onto my feet. Pah, what should I expect for £2. As I headed out for lunch the owner (don't know his name and too much time has passed to ask) said it was ok to g...

Headed out to get extra bandages etc as was thinking of heading to Pai. Apparently it's where the hippies go to chill, as that's pretty much all i was doing, might as well be doing it on the porch of a wooden hut next to the river. Enough foot stuff for 3-4 days costs £6 at pharmacy rather than the £30-£40 quid it would have cost at the hospital. Spoke to the hotel owner (after explaining how my foot was today) he said a minibus would cost 150bht (£3). Bosh!...

Check out time! Spent way too long at this guesthouse but fair play they gave me a discount for the last 4 nights due to my foot. Had me free breaky and changed my bandages etc (not at the same time). Although it's fairly easy procedure it's rather hard angling my foot - was pretty impressed considering and hadn't used half as much of the bandages the nurses use. Left my big bag at reception whilst I hobbled out to find my new home. Had a look at a couple which w...

Not sure what happened over the previous few days - mainly just rested. Had my date with the doctor this morning - headed to the hospital again. He said it was better and glad it wasn't swollen which shows the infection had stopped but he wants another week. Another appointment for the following Monday. Not what I wanted to hear but on doctors orders I'll go with it. Just need to get it healed and then carry on with no probs. I asked if I could dress the wound my...
