Cindi, I'll certainly be more careful in the future. The skin tear is now 10 days old, and today I'm going to the hospital for a wound check. It was fine until a couple of days ago, when it got red and angry and incredibly painful. The area below the wound, including my foot, is swollen. I drew a pen line around the red portion to make sure it isn't growing. It hasn't grown since yesterday, but the pain's getting worse and worse.
