Toe wound! There's still a lot of weeping going on, but I think I can try walking my 9.5K route as of this weekend. Once I start walking again, I believe healing can continue as long as I do my Epsom-salt soaks more often (lately, it's been about once per week). I've switched from applying iodine to the toe wound to just using my good ol' first-aid cream. This wound is taking longer to heal than my previous wound in 2024, which was arguably worse. I'm guessing this is because I didn't bother seeing the doc this time and getting my usual complement of antibiotics.
Not that it matters now: I'm past the danger zone for infection.

As for long walks: I've decided to wait until fall to try the route again. I need to do some serious rethinking and research to re-plot the route. As to when in the fall the walk might happen... I don't know. If I've got a university job by that point, I'll have to work around whatever my schedule is. Whatever the case, the walk will happen in the fall.
