Peteyfoozer’s Journey (because journaling’s not enough)

[peteyfoozer]

Thanks and God bless you guys.
Spent $ we don’t have, maxed everything out buying a hydrotherapy tub. I’ve gotten to the point that I just can’t handle the pain anymore. We actually have a mineral hot springs on the ranch but I can’t get in or out of it. Before losing my home, I had a jacuzzi and it helped a lot with the pain I had back then, even though it wasn’t even close to what it is now, I will take any help I can get.
Doing better today but man yesterday was NOT pleasant. This body doesn’t bounce.

Do you have a traditional tub now?? If so, do you think hot soak in good ole Epsom salt might help?

Next, how will you get in/out of new hydro -- is it door, enter, then fill? Geesh - the questions we have

It’s a walk in tub. I currently have a clawfoot tub/shower and dang near killed myself a couple times getting out of it. I can only use the shower part because I can’t get up from the tub. The new one has a seat so it will help a lot! I’m looking forward to it. I should be able to pick it up in Idaho the day after the Inauguration and hopefully Randy won’t waste time getting it installed. There will have to be electrical and plumbing work done, luckily he knows how to do all that

Ugh! Mr Boone accidentally flayed open the back of my ugly, old lady hand.

I can’t tell if there’s tendon damage or if they are just bruised. It’s pretty deep, considering there’s nothing under the skin but bone and tendon for the most part. Looked pretty gnarly until I got the flap smoothed back down. The hardest part was trying to doctor it, but at least it’s my left so I could do a half way decent job or it would look like Fenny tried to do it! All we have on hand is a band aid and lots of gauze. No tape, nuthin’.

A thing of beauty. I can picture it in marble. Maybe in the Louvre…
I should’ve been an ER doc. I got mad skillz!

Next time you are in the feed store, get yourself some vet wrap. It even comes in pretty colors!

Old lady hands aren’t ugly, old lady hands just show all the love that has come from them.

Owie. What did you use to clean it?

 

[peteyfoozer]

Just soap and water around the edges. Th bandaid is slathered in triple antibiotic

YOUCH. It happens. Sigh.
Yeah - I'm with @Baymule -- grab some vet wrap at the feed store. Pretty colors and different widths too!
If you get delivery from A then order some (LOL I don't get delivery from A so you probably don't either). Grab a box of those sterile gauze pads next time you pick up an RX. BUT -- you've got the triple antibiotic and that's huge. LOL my other go-to Bactine - it truly does work.
Heal quickly, you've got sourdough to make.
