I know that it goes without saying that you would not climb up a tall ladder which is sitting on a shiny tile floor without bracing it against something or having someone hold it firmly. Right? Well, that's what we were doing. Gopal was galantly hanging a crystal windchime in the high domed ceiling of our dining room. I was holding the ladder, with trepidation. The ladder is made of bamboo and is 12-feet tall!
He successfully hung my windchime, then decided to clean the windows that were up there. He asked me to get some window cleaner. I did. Down he came! We think the wounds on his left shin were from the ladder itself. After a couple weeks, one of them had not healed and looked funny. So, we had our doctor look at it.
To make a long story short, a surgeon looked at it and performed a small surgery on it to clean it out. Here's the result.
Both of us feel insecure about the drastic steps taken. This wound has had trouble healing too, so our doctor checked Gopal's blood sugars. They were up, and I am now giving him insulin shots, as well as taking his blood sugars.
It is now two weeks since the surgery, and the wound is starting to heal slowly. (More later.)
