You take good care of that wound. Lots of nasty virus' out there including the ones you can pick up in a hospital. Glad your on the mend.

 

[renegade_7]

Hope you are feeling better. Nasty stuff. I got it once in high school. Even had the red streak going up my arm. The streak gave it away. Good luck and quick recovery.

Actually, no it's not. It is sterile while in the bladder, but the end of the urinary tract (distal urethra) is NOT sterile. As a veterinarian, I perform many "free catch" urinalyses a week and expect to see bacteria in the urine. Urine collected via the bladder with a needle through the abdomen (via cystocentesis) SHOULD, however, be bacteria free.

Hardy old truckers never die they just get a new oops this is a family show.

I carry a marine grade first aid kit in my truck all the time. It's got most of your basic supplies and has helped me a couple of times. If I remember right I got it at wally world for around 20 dollars

 

[ivan salis]

a tube of triple antibotic cream should be standard gear for any MDing medical kit -- hope you do ok--- stale stagnent swamp water is full of foul critters that can screw you up take care and get well soon ---

 

[DiggerBug]

Dang, those must be them bionic bacteria. I would have thought the shower at the truckstop would have cleaned the wound to some degree.

You get well now!

Digger, you posted --->

Hey, we are talking about Hardy here, not Brando snicker

To quote a famous Mexican statement "shower? shower? we don need no stinkin shower".

Sure hope you recover quickly!

I was once darn near bullet proof...
not so much, anymore.
Takes longer to heal.

Stay away from hospitals and doctor offices!
Sick people go to them places.

Father-in-law went in for some cutting and got a staph infection that was a real bear!

And we got surfers coming down with sickness from time to time they just can't shake, for months...

Nice T truck, there in the snow...
I learned how to drive one similar, about 10yrs ago.
It was a '26 or '28 (can't recall, they said it was last year) and had electric starter.
The bands were good, brakes fair, and I really enjoyed driving it around town.
I had never really known... 1st gear IS too low, and HI is flying in excess of the brake capability!
