Thanks for the well wishes guys... swelling has come down further which makes it look more like an allergic response than an infection and now the arm just hurts a fair bit.

Guess it is time to reload on (non narcotic) painkillers and go for a little ride... think that keeping my circulation up can only help and my legs and back need to get stretched out.

Made power bars yesterday and just had one of those... will have to burn off a few of those 400 plus calories too.
