Updates and Wound Care
Last week I learned that while applying antibiotics/antiseptics when initially dressing a wound is important, continuing to do so every time one changes the bandage will prevent healing as it kills people cells as well as infections. This, Ironically enough will inhibit the wound from closing up, making it much more likely that an infection will find its way into the wound during the extended healing time, no matter how well it's wrapped, especially if doing yard work.
I am ambulatory now and come off the antibiotics Friday. I returned to work today and discovered that lying in bed for a week with one's foot elevated does NOTHING to prepare one for returning to a very physical job.
