1. In the event, I have NOT been slathering my new carpal tunnel surgery scar with anti-itch cream. This is because I have instead been slathering it with antibiotic ointment and wrapping it back up. See, I think I pulled one of my stitches a little -- not enough for it to come loose, but enough that one end of the incision did not close up 100% and is still kind of raw and gooey and tends to gape open a little. :(

But I have a lot of antibiotic ointment, and have purchased some non-stick wound pads/covers and gauze wraps, and have two ace bandages left over from my surgeries, so I think I will be okay.

I am uncovering the hand for showers and washing dishes and stuff, and then wrapping it back up afterwards, because I just cannot anymore with the plastic bags.

2. Thanks to the new American Rescue Plan Act, I received notification a few days ago that I am now eligible for an increased Advanced Premium Tax Credit -- or, in other words, that the government is willing to pick up a bit more of the cost of my monthly health insurance premiums. So I logged into the NY state health website and tweaked that, so as of June 1, my monthly bill to Excellus will go down by $100. That is good news for my budget!
