    Healing from the Tinsel Fairy 2 weeks later

    Hi guys! Just following up on my post from about 2 weeks ago, where the tinsel fairy got me good on the top of my thigh.

    http://castboolits.gunloads.com/show...ot-me!!-I-m-OK

    If you recall, I looked like this



    After two weeks of alternating with just open air and triple antibiotic ointment under a big bandaid, we're looking like this now



    Still would have preferred to never have done that!! Let's be careful, OK?

    Yeah, no pain at all. Actually, when the scab built up it would itch more than it hurt! Then the TAB ointment under a bandaid would soften it up again, and the itching would stop.

    Wow, that looks like it was almost very bad.
    What you need is some Easy Skin to help heal it, regrow new skin and limit the scarring.
    Best of luck.

    Thanks for the update and for the reminder to never let the guard down.

    Glad to see that you're mending.

    Looks like you'll be 'healed & haired' in no time.

    It's easy to do.

    I got one a few nights ago like that. Today, its a 3" diameter brown spot that itches.
    First time in years I've sat down at the pot with short pants.

    OK People. Enough of this idle chit-chat.

    That's priceless. I never thought of that!

    Yeah, "I took a bullet in the leg." I never said it was fired out of a gun
