This can only mean that everyone has given up on my blog. Instead of simply letting people know that I have been writing entries again, I have decided to write entries for a while, let it be discovered, and then everyone can feel sorry for me and my unpopular blog! Until discover, it's gonna be a lonely, lonely blog.
Let's dispel a couple of medical myths!
1. You should clean wounds with alcohol or hydrogen peroxide.
False: You should only clean them with soap and water. You do not need to sterilize a wound any more than this and, in fact, using alcohol or hydrogen peroxide will kill healthy tissue and increase wound healing time.
2. After a day or two a wound needs to dry out to heal.
False: Wounds heal best when kept moist with triple antibiotic or plain Vaseline. Letting a wound dry out increases healing time and scarring.
More to come!

hon, I read your entries, good job for getting back on the blogging horse :)
Now that I have your link again, I will try and comment as much as possible...probably to the point that you will stop blogging just to get me to shut up! I love getting new computers at work, but in return you usually lose your favorites )-: I will make sure to save your e-mail this time....
