I thought I would try writing a blogpost like Joshua. I looked back through pictures and found 4 different angles on a recent turf burn that I received. Since I don't want to be 'that guy' on Facebook I decided to post them here. Here are is beautiful wound I received playing flag football.
The real struggle of this turf burn was figuring out a way to cover it. There wasn't a bandaid big enough. It would have taken a box full of the smaller ones. The first day I applied lots of Neosporin and wrapped my leg with gauze. Unfortunately, it stuck like glue. Eliza ripped off a whole layer of pain when she pulled it off. After I stopped crying, I looked for other ways that would be non-stick. Certain hygiene products were unsuccessful, but nursing pads worked great. I had to make sure and buy another box though before the baby came.
Intramurals have been fun, and although they have come with a few scrapes and bruises, I have enjoyed being active and playing on a team. Our intramural frisbee team lost by one point in the semi-finals to the Creighton University club team. It was good to know that I can catch multiple long touchdown passes over the club team. Maybe if I wasn't so old I would join the team. It was a disappointing loss, but we'll get 'em next year.
PS. If you were expecting lots of pictures of Emmaline, stay tuned. Her time will come.

Ouch and ouch.
ReplyDeleteAnd do you say it Emmaline (rhyming with lime on the end) Or emmalene? Because mom in the begining Mom called me Nicolina And Grandma thought it was Nicoline, like Nicolene. And since I haven't heard it said, just written, I was wondering.
Glad nursing pads worked for ya. Who knew they could have all sorts of uses. A new way to market them now. You probably should have put lanolin on your leg as well before applying the nursing pad.
