Kayak Fishing Adventures on Big Water’s Edge

Post Amputation Day 95
by Makobob
Such a long time it takes some diabetics to heal. Blood sugars are in check, NO bone or
other infections. The stump is looking much better. And the wound is healing faster.
Thank the Lord.

Now over three months after the amputation I can sea the light at the end of the tunnel.
I took my ten WHOLE days in Baja. Before I left my wound care doctor put me on
antibiotics, he said just in case. I covered up pretty well but still burnt my nose. On
returning to sea him after my trip he was excited at the progress made in two weeks.

The wound was closing much better and faster. Baja was healing me!!!!! The smaller
part of the wound was ready to use a different technique on. The doctor placed a piece
of cow collagen in the wound, used glue to hold on a bandage over it then used tape
over that. Told me not to touch it, he will look at it again on this Thursday.

He told me to continue treating the rest of the wound as I did in Baja. Thursday when
he seas me again he will be happy as the open part of the wound is still healing well.
I can sea it growing smaller every day. Baja was good for me. Physically, emotionally
and spiritually, I was healed by her open arms.

So I ask myself how to keep this going? My answer is another trip to mako-ville scheduled
for the 15th of June, I will be there until the 20th. Then cross through Coco's corner to
San Quintin to fish the halibut tournament on the 23rd of June. And to celebrate my 70th
in paradise, then back to Gonzaga for a day or two before returning home on the 26th.

While in mako-ville I hope to get the windows installed on the upstairs bedroom which we
are building. We found an air conditioning unit which will run on our solar system all day
long without drawing power from the batteries. Then we turn it off until we go to bed then
on for an hour or two should be all it takes. That should give us cool, sweet Baja dreams.
Tight Lines amigos.
