Keeps crashing my FB phone app. But the earlier pictures are cool. Not a lot of people on the roads.

Had a small burn the other night.
Put on a hydrocolloid plaster. It started going orange and seeping a little. So I thought after two days I should check I'd done the right thing - my healing being compromised and all that. The last thing I need is a skin infection. Called 111 for advice, even though they called an ambulance on me last time. Totally opposite reaction this time - got an answerphone message saying they were terribly sorry but they were very, very busy and I should call my GP. Thanks. I was calling to find out whether I should call my GP or go to Minor Injuries. So I called my GP and the Receptionist said I should go to Minor Injuries (this is a nurse-based clinic, usually in smaller hospitals, to spare the NHS the cost of someone going to Accident and Emergency - my closest A&E being my second home 13 miles away at St James' in Leeds) Got a taxi up there, even though it's less than a mile. Muscle wastage and breathlessness and all that. Turns out I had done the right thing. But the Nurse was concerned about the lack of sensation - because I didn't scream when she poked my exposed burn I suppose. It's only the top layer of skin missing. I've had worse. So they dressed it. In a HUGE pad and dressing. And that's seeping orange spots now too. Within two hours. So I'm some sort of Ki-Ora machine it seems. Anyway, got to go back to the local hospital on Sunday to be checked and have another dressing put on, and have an appointment with my Practice Nurse (at the GP's) on Wednesday. So I'm being looked after and it's all in hand. Just a bit tiring.

Hi everybody!
Can't keep up with Cellar right now, so thought I'd check in. Detroit is good...working hard, meeting lots of cool people. Taking some down time this weekend to see the Royals play the Tigers at Comerica Park tomorrow and Sunday.

Got to see Dick Gregory...last weekend? 2 weekends ago? Still full of fire...one of the greats, and a native St Louisan, like yours truly.

Re my previous post about my burn:
The adhesive plaster on my dressing was coming detached. And I know that wet healing depends on a sterile wound. So I thought I'd best go back today rather than tomorrow. The first Nurse I saw filled me with confidence. Not. "Eurgh, why is it green?!" Well I actually knew the answer, because when the green spotting started to come through from the inside, I looked it up online. It's to do with the silver in the dressing, and although it doesn't happen in every case, it's not a cause for concern. But I'm not telling her. I then had to go through the whole rigmarole again. When, where, what meds am I on, who dressed it etc etc. Medical records? C'mon people. Anyway, I explained to the Nurse and then the Sister that I'd only come in as the dressing was coming loose, and I'd been advised to come in tomorrow. They still behaved as if it was a major A&E injury (it's not) before poking it again with gloved fingers and deciding it was healing more or less as expected. "I'm surprised it's still bleeding though", said Sister. Well, I'm not going down that route again! Just kept my mouth shut. This is the place I went to for a routine blood test and started dripping blood on the floor before I'd even left the building then was told off for not telling them I have a blot-clotting disorder (I don't - I'm just a bleeder). I wasn't bleeding for fun - not my fault it wasn't dressed properly. Anyway, the Nurse put some more gel on, and a pad, and another big plaster and then a BANDAGE and then dressed it in a tubi-grip thing to keep the bandage on until I get to see the Nurse on Wednesday. Wednesday!!! Have to keep it dry til then. Been getting by with dry shampoo and baby-wipes (so a bit like my trip to real hospital) but I had hoped the new dressing would be waterproof. Ah well. Slow morning at the Wharfedale I'm guessing. Or maybe they'd all got together last night and watched a box set of Holby City DVDs. So here I am, looking like I've been in a knife fight for a tiny burn. Better than leaving it uncovered and seeping all over my duvet I suppose. And I can't moan about not having something dressed properly and then moan that they've bandaged me too much  I moan here so I don't moan to the medical staff. You don't upset people with needles in their hands, or those dealing with missing pieces of skin.
