so pro angry legs?

Hydrogen peroxide is the worst thing you can use, it is very toxic to the cells recruited to heal the wound and should not be used. Just saline or warm water is fine. As far as antibiotic ointment, it actually creates a moist environment by virtue of the layer of petroleum on the wound. The type of dressings I use are very expensive and for routine scrapes or road rash, are unnecessary. Look for a thin foam dressing with a transparent film over it, they can be left in place for several days before needing to be changed. You are right to use the antibiotic only if signs of infection present, using it to prevent infections is not indicated, using it for infections is.

I could include some pretty angry leg pictures. I won't however, for fear of offending the weak stomached. Angry legs are interesting and possess a real therapeutic challenge and often diagnostic challenge.

Angry legs for me is when my training partner has a bad day at work and vents by pedaling ridiculously hard while at the same time telling me why his day was bad. My side of the conversation is usually limited to grunts and wheezes.

She was a smoker, just quit when she married Georgie. So if a runner-well possible but contradictory. Not that there aren't a lot of people that do that.

surgeonstone

So the butt plug is what allowed you to figure it out....interesting.

surgeonstone

Come on man, you have to have thicker skin by now.

surgeonstone

Capsaicin, the ingredient in cayenne pepper, can be used for certain wound issues, putting it into the wound bed is not one of them.

surgeonstone

Whish is the sex toy, the butt plug or Georgies wife?

surgeonstone

That is correct. Much like a rain jacket for cycling, the goal is to keep moisture/water/contaminants out, allow excess moisture to be absorbed and or pass through but also keeping the wound bed moist. Its a challenge.

Listen if we can't say g-u-n, I doubt a picture of your nether regions will be allowed. But hey, give it a try.

surgeonstone

Beg to differ, the area that's not the anus and not the scrotum but between the two is the taint. In the woman, replace the scrotum with it's embryological equivalent female structure, which is, as you all know, the labia.

I think maybe as an extreme close up with careful cropping.

...yeah, taint has always been used bisexually where I come from. 'Tain't one nor the other = taint.

3alarmer 

...asexually ? ...ambisexually ? ....without reference to gender ?

surgeonstone

Go for it. I double dog dare you.

3alarmer 

...free the taint !!!! #dontjudge

RollCNY

I imagine that most things where you come from have been used bisexually.

Go Notre Dame! This from a football hater but South Bend resident.

I stand corrected. I had never heard it used in reference to male anatomy. Perhaps just the degenerates I grew up with.

rpenmanparker 

Oh hell. You're right. I was just BSing. And the one thing I am not lacking in is self awareness. It ain't always pretty, but at least I see it for what it is. Besides I can count on you guys to straighten me out if I miss anything. Truly blessed!

The Good

--Came around a curve on a hill climb and saw three deer at the edge of the road! I see deer out in the wild west every once in a while, but not on the road. Then a mile later another one with antlers bounded in front of me! A free wilderness safari in Loudon County

Other animals spotted: two goats, a donkey, cows, horses, and dogs (including a big slow one that tried to chase me).

--Five miles of road has been repaved since my last ride there. Sweet.

--Much more surprisingly, there's a fancy new roundabout, with lights! coasting would be jealous.

--I revisited a road I haven't ridden in probably three years. I'm so adventuresome.


The Bad

When you can't turn your head enough to see behind you, and have to go across to a left turn lane, it's a problem.


The Ugly

To my dismay, I discovered that this formerly open meadow now looks like a strip mine, complete with 20+ earth movers and other heavy machinery. Only it's not going to be a strip mine (I almost wish it was). It's going to be more exurb housing for road-clogging SUV drivers.

The one good thing about the Great Recession was that it put an end to this kind of thing for several years. Now it's coming back. Joy.
