what to do?
do i have to go get antibiotics?
how long to wait?
it hurts.
i did the proper thing-i cleaned out the wound with whiskey (i am kidding) -i did use rubbing alcohol and some other anti bacterial spray. then lots of neosporan...what else to do?
maybe i shoulda used the whiskey.
My initial infection went away and I have not had any issues, but it was a staff infection. I recently (two days ago) received another injury from a roofing nail (I am reconstructing my attic into a loft) and the staff infection is back. I go again to the doctor for yet another round of anti biotics. grr.
I am cleaning up all those nails like an anul freak and somehow one of them got into my bedroom and at 5:30 am when I got up to feed my cat, I stepped on one. I keep slippers by my bed, but I looking for them in the dark. grr.
another battle. Why can't a couch potato get these infections and not be able to walk. Oh, don't worry I walk funny/hobble funny, but I can still ride a bike.
