Amy, I just stepped away to do a little wound care research and discovered that none of my books cover scabs. How weird is that.
I think the basic advice is to watch out for some bad things, but to let nature do the work for the most part.
Things to look out for, all of which I'm sure you know:
- The aforementioned seepage
- Itching that causes the wound to get reopened (if this happens, you can apply some antibiotic cream to make the area less dry)
- Inflammation, redness or swelling
- Keeping the area clean...which might include gently clipping away hair around the edges of the wound to keep it from getting caught in the scab or transferring dirt to the healing tissue
I am so glad you (and your cat and your stuff) are okay Chikat.
I've run out of internet, help!
I hope the lack of emails from Mom today indicates that she is sleeping off her ick.
I, too, have run out of internet. Angry flower cat has fallen asleep in his kitty bed, and the other two felines are slounging. Everyone is making me sleepy!
Also, ND got his hair done today, and he looks sex-ay. Of course, my basis of comparison is what he looked like after a month at sea, so my judgment may be questionable.
So, inspired by Kristin's loan approval, I applied for a small bill consolidation/equipment purchase loan myself. I just heard back from the bank, and I too have been approved!
This is good. I've been steadily trying to improve my credit rating, and I have some revolving accounts that I pay on time each month, and that's helped. But my credit report had a credit score calculator that suggested getting a loan and paying that down on time would really boost my score.
So yeah, in addition to being able to pay down some bills, it's nice to make further improvements in my credit. YAY!
(I'm also a little surprised, as I've gotten rather used to being turned down for credit.)
ooh, color?
Short black hair and beard to match.
don' bleev you. Pictures please.
... oh rats it's time for my meeting.
Woot! Go Sean!
Yeah, I see a shiny new laptop in my future.
