Friday night I had stopped at the hospital on the way home to visit my coworker. I hadn’t been home long enough to get set up to post music when I can hear my Mom on the intercom saying bring down some gauze.
What happened? Dad hurt his hand. Off I go, get a look at it and said I’mm taking him to the ER. A little hemming and hawing about maybe just putting.....NO...too much chance of infection. He ripped it open on a nail. So off we went. He said the pain got intense a couple times waiting and during the doctor fix, but not today. Now to keep it dry and let it heal.
Well, poor guy...give him a big hug for me and I hope it heals soon.
I know as wounds dry; they get tight and itchy.
For me, putting anything that itches in cold water stops the itch, but if he has to keep it dry, that won’t work.
