Well...

Just got back from the doctor, and I am glad I recently stocked up all the first aid supplies. Guess what Santa brought the fat man for Christmas.

I began getting this "bug bite" size sore on my side about a week ago. In the last few days it has taken on a life of its own. Little lidocaine and one heck of a large scalpel incision later and I am the proud new owner of a wound I had to have packed and will be dealing with until a recheck on Friday.

First Aid at a MVA... sure, GSW... ok? Open hole in MY side draining like the dam burst is NASTY. Any tips on wound treatment? (Other than common sense.) The best I got from them was limited to non-existent.

Also, MERRY CHRISTMAS TO ALL, and have a safe holiday.
