First Aid and amazing results
Thanks to TOL, I avoided a hospital visit! Long story short, I fell yesterday about 4 feet into our scrap pile of wood, an "oh S*it" moment.
That sickending feeling on the way down crossed my mind as to what I was going to break, damage.
Well the main damage was a quarter size gouge right below the inside of my wrist with an inch wide scrape all the way to my elbow. I sat there assessing if everything else was working. Have to say the amount of blood was incredible.
Anyway, made it back to the house, telling myself don't panic as I was home alone. I proceeded to run cold water over the wound, stanch the blood with paper towels all the while pulling out my first aid containers.
I then put antibiotic ointment on it, placed two mini-pads (TOL tip ) and wrapped the entire thing up with vet wrap (TOL strikes again ).
It was painful for many hours.
Last night after nearly giving my DH a heart attack from the damage we cleaned it again under water, then I spread Manuca Honey (TOL ) and rewrapped it with mini pads and vet wrap.
Less than 24 hours later I have taken off the dressing to let the wound have fresh air . All I can say is how amazed I am at the healing process already. I am a klutz...I hurt myself all the time and I have never seen the flesh heal together so quickly. The would hurts a bit but the main thing is that it looks healthy (thru the bruising and scrapes).
So for all those skeptics, the mini pads work and are hugely less expensive than Trauma pads, the vet wrap was great as I was having to wrap it around my arm by myself and it was easy to work with and the honey healed things so quickly.
So I wanted to share and give thanks to TOL for the education and tips I learn every day here.
Best,
Kate
