Ick. It looks like it is eating your foot.

I am still getting in bills from my 3 weeks. Up to over $115K right now.

TS,

Is your foot still swollen? It looks "puffy" in the photo. Does it still hurt/sore?

Hope you get better soon!

It's swollen a bit, but it has the natural 'curve' of the toe back. Before it was like a log, straight on the sides. Still have a fair amount of pain, especially in the evenings. Sitting at my desk it hurts because of the blood flow to it, but putting it up causes it to fall asleep.

I hope that black stuff is just dead skin. I will be asking the doc about it today. Also need to see about if I am still contagious. DW has developed a black spot on an open wound on her foot. I think it is just a bit of dried blood on a scratch, but she is diabetic so we are going to have her checked out soon just in case.

That could be the "Out" that you know you've been looking for!

The black stuff looks like dried blood/scab, but there's probably some dead skin in there, too. It's protecting the new skin growing in beneath it. Just soak it once or twice a day to keep it softened, then give it plenty of fresh air the rest of the time. BTW, how does an injury from coral become contagious?
