Dropped mirtazapine dose to 15mg last Monday (which, for future reference to self, was the 4th); I have spent the last three days very fatigue-y but also I think the BV issues are Less Pronounced? In the sense that I have got away with a series of wheelchair-use days I did... not expect to.
Also, I am pretty pleased -- earlier this week I decided that my hand (you know, the one I previously burned) wanted to be friends with the bread knife. (I was wrong.) I managed to very nearly slice off a not-insubstantial patch of skin, and grumpily rearranged it over the active bleeding wound before applying pressure and eventually bandaging it, on the grounds that the worst that would happen would be that it would provide some additional protection and make things stick to the plasters less miserably.
... as of today I am getting unambiguous capillary refill in the reattached flap of skin. I ACCIDENTALLY A SKIN GRAFT AND I AM VERY EXCITED.
(I have never previously accidentally a skin graft, I don't think, which is why I am QUITE this pleased by it, but, like -- SCIENCE.)
