Documenting Injuries of January, 2026 (Personal)

Seems it’s best to pile up the injuries at the start of the year.

I hurt my back a little carrying my daughter on my back while doing a full sprint.

Two days after I hurt it a lot with a misstep on the sidewalk, really banging my back on the same side where it hurt.

Two days after I was cold and hugged the 湯たんぽ with my feet, burning myself while I slept. Had a blister, and two days later, it got infected.

I’m writing this from my bed, because until this heals, standing hurts. Also, the doctor said to stay in bed.

The end.

October Update

All is good now.

The burn, by the way, was not trivial. It took about 3 months of healing, including an painful process called “debridement”. I took photos every time I had it done… let’s say it’s not something to post here. Look it up.

I had a small burn in my foot and that hurt! I now have a slightly improved perspective about those who have serious burns.
