Blister isn't healing :(

First, I'm sorry you're dealing with this blister for 2 months now, and I'm sorry about your lay off from work.  Although I can't help much with the job thing (though I am in Cambridge, MA, and am also looking to get into new work -- we could talk prospects perhaps) I did see some good advice about blisters recently.  It's from a guy who wrote an e-book about marathoning.  I'll paste it below, and hope that it helps.

Hi sunny,

Here's a quick tip on what you should do if you 
get a blister:

If you are like most people, you will find that 
you develop a blister occasionally during 
training. This is normal.

However, depending on the severity of the blister 
you could be out of action for days... if not 
months. That is especially so if your blister 
becomes infected.

So what should you do if you develop a blister?

The best way to handle a blister is to pop it 
in order to drain the fluid.

Do this by firstly washing your hands and the 
effected area in order to reduce the risk of 
infection. Then with a steralised needle pierce 
two small holes on opposite sides of the blister 
and gently press on the blister with a cotton 
wool pad and wipe any excess fluids away.

This removes the fluid as efficiently as 
possible. Your blister will heal quicker if 
you leave the roof of the blister on.

After all the fluid is drained, lubricate the 
blister with an antiseptic ointment. Then place 
a plaster over the top of the blister in order 
to help it heal quicker.

If you follow the above guidelines when you 
develop a blister then you shouldn't have to 
put your training on hold for the usual days... 
if not weeks if it would normally become 
infected.

"Twenty years from now you will be more 
disappointed by the things that you didn't 
do than by the ones you did do. So throw 
off the bowlines. Sail away from the safe 
harbor. Catch the trade winds in your sails. 
Explore. Dream. Discover." -- Mark Twain 

Did you see a regular doc or a podiatrist?

Five days out from my half ironman, I had a blister that became infected. It was extremely large (got bigger and bigger as the day went on), gross, and painful. My podiatrist cut the skin away, cleaned it up, and put some purple stuff on it. Five days later, I ran the entire leg of the half ironman without ever feeling a single thing (not even an awareness) from the blister. I know yours isn't infected, but it seems to me there's something else that can be done to get rid of it. It shouldn't hurt after after two months; if anything, it would just turn into a callus at two months.

I would try to find one of those products that dries it out, but I don't know what any are called. Also, try maybe using blistoband or something on it. But, I don't have any experience as I've never used anything on my blisters...except for what the doc gave me.
