Beth that is a great idea about the butterfly bandages, I usually have those on hand but thanks for reminding me to buy some..
We're the same in a couple aspects there, Beth, my father died 73 on dialysis, from kidney failure, and I hate taking pills. My father was in the hospital, and while he was taking dialysis, said son I don't care what the Dr.s have to do to you; let them because I don't want you to have to go through this; it drains me and if it wasn't for your mother being in those woods out there by herself; I would take my shotgun and kill myself. Watching him go through that.
Beth, I heard it isn't as bad as it was 10 or 20 years ago. Thank goodness for those who are on it now.
Almost all the way "healed"; smaller cut, about an inch in length, with slight scab, won't be too much longer.
