re: #425 RealityBasedSteve

I remember you posting that you stubbed (jammed) your toe so hard that it drew blood. For some reason I imagined you did it indoors. Neosporin is great stuff, I always keep some in my workshop and when I’m out camping / touring. Never had an infection using it.

Love to hear how you managed to do it, was it a case of the sidewalk just suddenly jumping up and attacking you from cover? That’s the way they do it you know… lie there all still till you get close, then spring out at you.

We were walking around SF in the North Beach area (at that point) when I stumbled on an uneven sidewalk bit. The husband managed to keep me from falling but I wear flip-flops pretty much year round and my big toe impacted and scraped along it pretty hard. Looked down and it was dripping blood pretty quickly, actually.

Let’s just say I’m not the most graceful person ever?

Of course, because it’s on the end of my big toe, it’s incredibly awkward to deal with. Now we have some of that nice flexible sticks-to-itself wrap-tape and gauze pads and have antisepticed/Neosporin’ed the heck out of it repeatedly, but immediately afterwards the options were much more limited.

It turned out that all the cleaning wipes he had in his mini-first aid kit had long since gone dry. I need to update his this week, and put together one for myself. I carry an immediate supply of most typical drugs I might need, but not first aid stuff. That needs fixing.
