Alright y’all, here we go with another episode of Just How Life Goes and today’s wound check is after being outside pretty much all day.
I started my morning doing a little fire watch, spent a lot of time sitting in the heat, and by the time I got home, I was sweaty, tired, and fully expecting this wound check to be a disaster. 😅
Especially since my Remicade infusion is coming up on Friday, which means I’m in that stretch where I usually start paying extra close attention to inflammation, drainage, fatigue, and all the little signs my body likes to throw at me.
But surprisingly… things actually look pretty good.
Now don’t get me wrong — I was definitely draining throughout the day. I think I changed gauze and supplies about four times while I was out. So when I got home, I was expecting to see a lot more evidence of that.
But somehow? Nothing.
No major drainage marks. No major mess. Just a tiny spot that I wiped away.
Honestly, I’m shocked.
Sometimes with chronic illness, you spend all day preparing for the worst, and every now and then your body gives you a little win. And today, I’ll take that win.
I’m still watching a few areas closely, still counting down to Remicade day, and still doing everything I can to stay ahead of the flare-ups. But overall, I’m grateful for how today went.
I hope y’all had a wonderful Monday.
Happy Pride Month. 🏳️🌈
Happy Juneteenth Month. ✊🏾
Happy HS Awareness Week. 🖤
There’s so much to celebrate this month, and I’m grateful to be here experiencing it all with you.
Love y’all.
Just how life goes. 🖤
