Road rash sucks
Just saying...
2 days ago at 35 mph... I sure f'd up that one. Took a hand off the handlebars and hit a bump, gravity pretty much dictated the rest. I need some new arm and leg warmers, otherwise I am ok except a bit of painful road rash. Thankfully my bike is ok as well. Just sitting here in pain and felt like whining. |
Most people post pictures, I'm not sure why, but they do. :twitchy: Heal up quick!

keep it clean and moist....Tegaderm is a wonderful thing.

Make sure you scrubbed all the grit out, or it will tattoo. I like to dress road rash with honey, keeps it moist until it heals like a hydrocolloid dressing, nice and antiseptic, but doesn't cost much. We use honey at the hospital for much uglier stuff than road rash, and it works great for that too.
