got infected, had to have it laid open and left that way for 5 days, so pressure wouldn't build back up--took 23 day for the infection to clear
Now there is this new thing called neosporin or if you prefer triple antibiotic ointment this will generaly put a stop to most immediate infections. Carry a tube in my go away bag for travel even! No offense Mama my mom was an OR nurse for like 37 years so it kind of rubs off on ya. And since my father left us when we were 10 and 11 I had to learn everything that I never
knew. Like how to fix the 10 speed and my first motorcycle and of course take the cars engine out and the tranmission. Needless to say these things never made mom to happy, like car parts on the kitchen table, and the other various parts all over the garage floor.
She always hated the smell of gas and still does to this day. But no matter what they always stuck together whenever it came to us kids!!
