A Quiet Stretch

Back at the cottage.

Kevin prepared saline solution and changed Jenny's ankle dressing with fresh sea beet poultice while the barometer showed rising pressure. Jenny's ankle remained swollen and throbbing through the night. Both fell into exhausted sleep at the cottage.

Kevin, check the ankle dressing - I need to change it before it gets worse.

Debride ankle and apply sea beet poultice

💭 peek at the thought

The infection's swelling again, and I need those antibiotics before the boat comes - but first, grandmother's seeds must go in the ground. Pocket seven's stable above the fracture line, pH 6.2, just like I documented.

Sit down. I'll put the kettle on for the saline.

walk to the kitchen and set the kettle on the wood stove, then retrieve the medical kit and a clean gauze roll from the shelf

💭 peek at the thought

She's right. The heat's been building under that gauze all afternoon. Need to get the old dressing off, flush it clean, and get fresh poultice on before the infection digs deeper.

Thank you. I'll sit.

Sit on the kitchen chair, leaning against the counter

💭 peek at the thought

He's being careful - good. But I can't afford to waste time or materials. The seeds won't wait, and neither will the infection getting worse.

Just let me know when you're ready. I'll bring the saline and the fresh poultice.

check the barometer reading on the shelf (982 hPa and falling), then head to the workbench to prepare the saline solution

💭 peek at the thought

Good. She's listening. The infection's spreading faster than it should - I can feel the heat just looking at it.
