Why always the left knee aswell? It’s got an MRI booked ffs. Sigh.

If you’d taken a bit more skin off you wouldn’t need the MRI… 😈

The advice of leave open to air seems to very wrong.

Keratinocytes produce your new skin but have to dissolve the scab to do so. The drier the environment, the harder the scab and the slower the healing process.

Got to love self diagnosis.

‘MUMMY IT STIIIINGS.”

Club Foot walk today then.

Tegaderm were £1.10 each. So fingers crossed for healing.

the scab heals pretty fast and I used fresh air dressing as advised by the MI Clinic.

From this

after 2 days

To this today

Work was grim. Now, is a bath a good or bad idea before changing the dressing .

I have had many injuries in my time, but haven’t had a graze like this since it was mums job to fix it.

I had a bath – it wasn’t that bad, no where near as bad as washing the grit out after it happened. I also spent a big portion of today picking at the scab, that will entertain me for weeks to come.

It looks like you have covered it with gravy granules. 🙄

Hills, it’s good to have you a wee while ahead on the recovery boat.

My job prevents me from sitting down so bath, drugs, convalescence tonight.

Looks manky.

Edit: btw, never did go to minor injuries. Oh well.

Used Tegaderm for 5 days. Looks ok.

Had to use dry dressings over the weekend, couldn’t get to the pharmacy.

Have melolin ones now.

I have been a miserable bastard this week.

Only Adam Brayton has helped me gain perspective.

Cheer me up.

Restoration is well underway, was out with my New Troy Lee 5045 knee/shin pads last night. No worries.
Skin now just looks flakier than an accident in the Kellogs depot!

My very, very old Fox shorts were due replacing, I was about to buy exact replacements until this happened.

However, I’m now getting 3/4 ones. One Industries probably.

Calf is fine, it’s the knee.

Pumice, or not pumice?

Pure natural aloe vera.
