The sores on my bum have transformed into open, infected wounds that are constantly leaking bloody blister juice. Oh the pain! There are no body positions that don’t hurt. While I can deal with the pain, what bothers me most is that I don’t know how badly the sores will become infected and if I can manage them on my own. Fortunately, I have a clean, comfortable room in which to rest (although it’s slowly becoming less clean as it fills with pus-soaked tissues). I limped to a pharmacy on the main street and purchased some topical antibiotic cream, which should be more reliable than the Savlon I carry in my first aid kit. I remained inside for most of the day, becoming increasingly hungry as I snacked on peanuts and biscuits. Besides dealing with my bum, I put myself through a crash course in how to make a Youtube channel.

My remedy: beer and bum cream
