snag(s)

My uploading of trek photos has hit an interesting snag: my phone will occasionally upload all of my photos in the wrong order. In some cases, if it's only a few photos involved, the problem is easy to fix. In other cases, though, if I've uploaded a batch of 75 photos, and they're all in reverse order, that's a lot harder to fix. I often just re-upload the whole batch and pray the phone doesn't go insane a second time. Anyway, I'm dealing with these upload errors right now. I've stopped uploading and am going through Days 1 through 9 to see how big the problem is, making corrections as I go. I might have to upload everything after Day 9 in smaller batches on the assumption that huge uploads might be part of the problem. Smaller batches = slower progress, so I might not get everything properly uploaded until mid-week next week or the following week. Sorry!

My other snag is my left big toe. It's healing a bit faster now that I'm not stressing it by walking 26 kilometers a day. The smell of the ooze has lessened although the ooze itself still seems to be appearing at the same rate as before. It sucks for the leaky-toe problem to have moved from my right toe—which had been weeping for nearly a year—to my left toe. Worse, though, is that the skin around my left big toe is apparently very soft and easily ripped, as I found out while removing a bandage this evening. I now have a new bleeder on that toe, necessitating the use of a bigger bandage to cover both the new wound and the zone that's oozing. One bit of good news, though, is that my Coupang order of Epsom salt came, so I'll be giving my left foot a nice, warm, salted bath, starting tonight.
