The Little things
 

So, I am finally home home as of this morning.

I spent 7 days in the hospital and then 7 days at my folks house.

I cannot remember a time ever that I have been happier to be home!

Here's the deal. If you don't know about it: http://www.twowheelfix.com/showthread.php?t=6498

Long story short: Hit by car on bike, broken femur, bruised like none other. Home and healing.

But here's my latest problem: I have a blister the size of a half dollar on the back of my heel.:idk: It sucks a lot.

I don't know what to do about it. Do I just leave it be and it'll go away when it's good and ready? I can't remember the last time I had a blister. :lol:

Leg is doing better....I would go into details, but I have been advised by my lawyer not to talk about it :rolleyes:

Try putting some kind of lotion with aloe on it. Used to help me out. You pretty much just have to wait it out though unless someone else knows something.

It's good to hear your back home!

Hmmmm.... im glad your doing much better! Gotten a shower yet? :panic:

Thats why i refuse to ride in towns or downtown. Even my tiny little Grove City! I only will ride in the country or backroads now. I'm too poor to do track days right now unfortunatly. But next summer when the bike is payed off, I will be hitting Mid-Ohio racepark at every chance i can get!

How much did her insurance pay for your bike?

Oh, and get a needle for that blister.

Take care of yourself and leave the blister alone besides putting the aloe on it.

If ya got a lawyer, are ya getting a new bike? :)

Welcome home, there is no place like it.

Welcome home, Heather.... :dthumb:

Yay, welcome home home Heather! :rockwoot:

I always drain my blisters and take the loose skin off to let it dry and heal quicker, but that can be more painful especially on one as big as yours is. If there is a lot of fluid in it, a needle hole to drain would probably help but then you have to keep it nice and clean since you open it up.

Heal up quick and keep us updated as you progress!

No shower for 5 more weeks :( I have metal staples over my incisions and I cannot get them wet.

What sucks, we had been riding for quite a while that day(a little under 200 miles) out in the hill country and were just a couple miles from being back home when I got hit.

I can't talk about insurance for legal reasons ;)

I might leave it be for now since it's on my heel and I can't bend my leg to get to it to clean it regularly.

I'll keep lotion on it (I might have to have my roommate search around my crap to find one with aloe in it) :lol:

I would just leave the blister alone, it goes away on its on. I know from breaking in uncomfortable heels all the time. If you need to wear shoes over the blister, put a cotton pad and a bandaid over it and socks to keep it in place or wear flip flops.

How do you wash your hair?

Cetaphil is good for dry bathing. Smear it on, and then take a damp washcloth and wipe it off.
