Well, I went to the doctor and had the "excision" last week. No fun there as you could abseil down the hole. The doc put 4 stitches inside and another 3 on the outside. Really painful and very sore to touch.
I get the stitches out Thursday and we'll see how long it takes after that to get mobile again. At present I've been told no riding which is kinda frustrating!
The resulting bandage....waterproof and all.
The stitches in all their glory. Ouch!
In the meantime I've recalculated my future Everest and it's now over 400km as I forgot about the "downhill". Doesn't matter too much as that will be "recovery" as it involves very little pedaling thank goodness.
It's a daunting prospect and gives me a ton of respect to those that have done "Everests" already.
I plan to buy another Garmin shortly to ensure nothing's left to chance on the day. The Hell's 500 website has a tool to stitch together files so I'm hoping all will be good on the day.
