Not Safe For Work! Just sawn my finger off...

[Pootsy]

@tommye do you have to go back for a Doctor to assess the healing?

Certainly it looks like its crusting over well. Made up for you that you'll be able to speed up your nail cutting regime by 10%.

Back at hospital Monday morning. Been changing the dressings myself as needed but it's getting there, albeit slowly.
Think the skin around one of the stitches has split though doing physio exercises. Feels really sore this morning so gonna whip the dressings off in a bit and have a nose

That's healable but still gotta get rid of the eschar (the dead black necrotic tissue). What dressing are they using?

are they debriding it?

One thing I learned from union involvement is that a scab doesn't heal if you picket.

Glad to hear you still have a nose.

No.
Chopped it off, patched up, sent home.
Had 1 appointment since which they just changed the dressing and checked it over.
Got another appointment Mon morning.

If its not draining I'd prob use medihoney and dressing daily as you have slough (yellow stuff) there as well (which medihoney works really well on). Not saying bactigras is the wrong treatment often we just use betadine on black eshar which works the same as the bactigras. just ask the MD why haven't they haven't debrided it (all you need is numbing spray and an xcto knife say 1X week or every other week).
