It doesn't hurt to get it into the actual wound. That is what it is for, it is an antiseptic in addition to being "greasy" to help healing. 

Thanks for that info! I didn't know that, I just had it for the really dry and cracked hands I get in the Winter. I won't worry about getting it in the wound then.

That surprised me, in a good way. It didn't feel like I did more than the past week, but I guess I did! Hope that is a good omen. I think the pain now is the bruised area, where the TV hit but didn't break the skin. The wound is healing pretty well.

I am still going to pace myself for a few more days.

After some snow shoveling in the morning I had to back off a lot as my leg was aching more than normal. It is feeling much better this morning. I've finished all the antibiotics she gave me, stitches out the 1st. They don't say anything about being closed holidays. I'm going in early maybe to avoid the long (4hr) wait we had the first time.

So, for the next few days I'm going to be taking it easy until dr says it is healing well and no restrictions...

Feeling better, I think the antibiotics were dragging me down. Finished both yesterday morning. Only a pin point of blood on the bandage when I change it yesterday and today also, probably from a stitch hole. Tomorrow is the day for them to come out. Then I'll know for sure how it is healing w/out intervention of stitches.

Still on take it easy plan for now. Sitting projects mostly for today. Not looking forward to the fireworks tonight. People go crazy around here and I worry about all the animals, not just my cats. There is a city ordinance about shooting them off in neighborhoods but it is pretty much ignored. Every year in Nextdoor app there will be reports of goats, chickens, and larger animals dying trying to escape the perceived danger from the booms. It is sad...

Got most of my projects done yesterday except emptying the Paid Bills box of 2014 bills and filing the new 2025 ones already in. Next is getting tax stuff organized. This year I'm getting it done early...yeah right.... sigh.

The New Year's eve firework's around here were pretty tame last night. Maybe the cold kept people in? They were done just a bit after 12 and that was the only time there were the big boom ones. That was just fine with me!!
