This! Ambos are bloody legends working under extremely stressful conditions dealing with things most humans never have to get to see. My utmost respect goes out to you G.
Sounds like you might have some IV antibiotics in your near future bro. Maybe a few days of hospital food coming up.Aww fellas you're all too kind but honestly I'm no hero by a long, long way.
I try my best and enjoy helping folk but your kind words are too much.
I'm deeply grateful for them non the less and youse have brought a tear to my eye this evening.......thank you
[MENTION=193665]spacejunk[/MENTION] the legs not doing to good actually bro.. I'm off tomorrow and am going to see if I can get a same day appointment at the docs. Its not healing right and is a mushy mess. I think I need more antibiotics. Burns that get infected are really nasty as I'm sure consumer will tell you. I'm in pain every step I take which when you're on your feet for 12 hours at a time is a bit unpleasant....
I'll see if I can get a pic up ....
Thank you again fellas.....I'm lucky to have such brilliant BL friends
yes...posts mentioning gagging will be edited
Its quite hard to tell from my phone but it does not seem to be weeping or have any purulent discharge. The redness is a concern but i cant tell if thats from the burn or a sign of infection. Is the area warm to touch? Warmer than normal? No sign of pink new tissue around the wound either which is usually a sign of healing. Is the scab hard? Its really hard to tell without actually seeing the wound in person. It kind of looks ok but if that redness is from infection, there is heat around the wound and there is puralent discharge then yep more antibiotics are in order. IV is the go if its not healing. I am not an expert on burns as serious burns cases were only ever stabalised at our hospital in ED then transferred to Sydney where they had specialist burns units. Degloving injuries however i know well and you dont want one of those.What do you think [MENTION=198822]consumer[/MENTION]?
(yes I'm aware that the scab looks like the Nike Jordan logo
Yeah that does not look like its healing to me. No sign of grannulation ( new pink tissue ) and it looks very red and sore. Like i said its hard to say from here but heat, redness and pain are signs of infection, especially if the pain extends from the immediate area of the wound ( not including burn pain which is different as you know ). A nurse practitioner might actually be better to see than a doctor anyway. Nurses see and deal with more wounds in the course of their work and i am not sure what prescribing limits they have on them in the UK but she should be able to sort out antibiotics. Orals might be ok but if you were on the ward with that i would imagine they would hit it with iv antibiotics. They might get you to go in for an infusion to hit it hard as a day patient for a few hours then give you orals. But it does look infected to me.Yeah but look at it this morning....
I've looks a lot worse. The scab is gone and it's all mushy. Maybe because I had a bandage on overnight but it needs looking at. I know what you mean about signs of infection. It is hot and i feel rough so it's a possibility. The main thing is that it really hurts when I stand up and the pain is unusual for a burn. Its a severe ache that seems to go right to the bone.
I've got an appointment at 3pm with the nurse practitioner (according to the lying bitch receptionist all the doctors have phoned in sick......don't get me started on doctors receptionists). I doubt the nurse will have much of a better idea than you or i which is why I wanted a doctor but we'll see....
I actually want the new mod to be FUBAR. Or maybe they can create some new kind of position ( not a sexual position as he has tried them all and invented a few too ) for him. Like Senior Smut Mod or something. Surely he deserves a position of influence in Bluelight.Yeah we'll we what they say....
On a different note who is the new mod then?
They're taking their time with the big announcement.
Don't keep us in suspenders (except FUBAR......he likes wearing women's underwear......so I've heard anyway
