I need some advice. I’m trying to get the wound on my knee healed (remember the 20MPH Coker accident that happened about 2 months ago?) I keep tearing open the wound, last night I smashed it dead on into the corner of my computer desk which ripped open the blood blister that I got from falling off the giraffe Darren lent me…
that one was kinda funny, my pads were in the trunk of the car at Mrs Sofa’s work, I went for a ride around the block on the giraffe…no pads, so I’ll go slow…I was accustommed to the ride, and was non-chalantly looking over to my right. I must’ve hit a bump, so I fell off to he front.
Subconsciensly (sp?!?) I was positioned to fall off a normal uni going that slow. But I kept falling, and land on my knee (no harm other than the blood blister ontop of my Coker scar, which had previously healed.
Anyways, the Roach pads keep peeling off the bandaids and reopening the wound (I keep forgetting to buy those great big bandaids, but I think I’ll remember now.
I won’t wear my pads today, I say, to allow the wound to heal. Long story short, that wound is now full of dirt and there is a great big flap of skin.
I’ve tried to clean it out with peroxide, but I don’t know if I should tear off that flap. (I don’t want to because it’s gonna hurt…it’s a thick flap) I ‘think’ I should, but that is going to leave quite a large open spot. Without peeling it off though, I can’t get in to clean it as good as I should.
Any advice? Do I peel it off leaving a BIG spot of raw flesh on my knee, or do I try to get underneath it (which so far I haven’t been able to do completely)
I know how you people are with wounds, so I’ve attached a photo. Thinking of Erin, I got some quad in the shot too.
The pic doesn’t look so bad, but I’ve gotten a lot of dings and not requested advice about them.
