Day 16:
Does it look like it hurts? YES. IT DOES.
I have kept it covered with antibiotic cream on it since I got it. I made the mistake of putting one of those cool “protects the skin while letting the wound breathe” clear bandages on it. I took it off last night and it seemed to rip off the outermost layer of NEW skin. Yeah. I know, I’m a Dumbass.
I think I’ll stick to good ole sterile gauze and tape.
I do need help though. I am not sure if I should leave it uncovered so that air can get to it. I know that it needs air to heal, but I am afraid of little germs and aliens getting it infected. And that whole “I’m a Diabetic”, thing… as long as my leg doesn’t turn black and fall off, I’m cool.
In other news.
Master Wog and I went out to dinner with a friend of his and his wife. Met them once before, got along well. Turns out the guy is pretty cool good ole country boy, likes his beer and steak. The wife, on the other hand, the biggest racist bigot I have ever met in my entire life. She had me so flustered and embarrassed at dinner, I wanted to get up and run out of there as fast as I could.
I refuse to discuss some of the fucking things she was saying. Just because you are an ignorant piece of shit, doesn’t mean that I share those feelings. And I damn sure don’t appreciate you discussing how much you hate every person who doesn’t look exactly like you. You poodle haired, redneck, ignorant, piece of trash. My dogs are smarted than you, and they lick their own asses.
Not only am I from Savannah and NOT a racist, my new cousin, Brooklyn is half black. And, Catie and her BLACK boyfriend have been together for almost 7 years. And I LOVE him, like he was my own brother. I wanted to start going through my camera and showing her pictures of the baby and telling her how beautiful Brooklyn is. Then I wanted to punch the shit out of her. So, I quietly sat there, finished off a couple more pina coladas, and left.
When Wog and I got to the car, I looked at him and said, “baby, that will never fucking happen again. I refuse to go anywhere with her.”
She made me sick. Stupid bitch.
I told Jess that I wish she would have been there. She could have set her straight and I could have been the muscle. When things got out of hand, I would have rubbed my burn on her and told her she was infected with Alien Jizz.
Take that.
OMG girl! That looks nasty!! wow. I hope it heals FAST! Sheesh!
ReplyDeleteOh god...that looks awful..
ReplyDeleteI'm dork...but might be able to help..
Would be best to leave uncovered, unless there is a chance of it getting dirty. Then cover with non-stick gauze. After showering, use some type of anti-bacterial cleanser/hydrogen peroxide. Do not use neosporin/bacitracin, they actually damage the new skin. Just clean the wound after showering or if it gets dirty. Then cover if necessary.
Good luck!
Tina - Thanks, me too!
ReplyDeleteSquirty - Thank you. My doctor gave me some Silvadene to keep on it. I will keep it uncovered during the day at work and then cover it at home. I am scared for it to be uncovered at home because of my dogs and their licking habits. Thanks very much, you did help!
WTF!? You look like you were swimming with sharks. Or did you make up the whole heating blanket thing to hide the fact that redneck bit you while you were stomping her? Wait... I saw those pictures. Oh well. My little half-breed children thank you for your outrage.
ReplyDeleteYour leg tried to escape and eat me yesterday.
ReplyDeleteOh man I have met a few of those girls in my day. They make me want to beat their heads in. You can take the girl out of the trailer but you can't take the trailer out of the girl. And trailer is totally a state of mind.
ReplyDeleteIf I was there I totally would have had your back. And Jess's, too.
