WOW!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
road rash sucks , huh???

keep it clean and wet

[one1]

Wet would be what "I" want because it is much less painful, but the doc wants it DRY so it will heal. If it stays wet it will take three weeks to heal a fresh layer, dry it'll be nicely coated over in skin in 2 weeks.

I got shivers up my spine looking at those pictures. I hope you heal fast. Dd the driver stop?

[tvnacman]

wet is opened to infection , do what the doctor tells ya . What did the driver do ? looks like you went for a slide , did your scooter hit the car ? You'll heal up and be fine . I know it hurts like a!@#$%^&*()_!!!!!!!!!

oh well sorry
i thought the conventional wisdom was to keep it wet with
antibacterial ointment

The Neosporin harbors fungal and bacterial infections by trapping it all in on the skin. I've never personally had an issue using it, but that's the doctor opinion from all I've spoken with.

I often ride and wonder if I was to t-bone some bone head . Could I fly head first through there window and knock there brains out of there head . I live in NYC we have an unlimited supply of bone heads , they look right at you and do it anyway .

the best is when they run a stop sign , you come to a screeching halt they stop in your path . Then flip you the bird .

Ouch! When I went down, I was sure glad to be wearing an armored jacket, gloves and helmet. Hope you're better soon!

one1, hope you have a fast recovery, Hey! be careful out there.

Whats going on with the other driver? Has he got insurance? Ticket? It doesn't look like you can be expected to go to work with all that rash, especially if your work place is not a sterile atmosphere. Looks like your ride is repairable, but how are they going to handle it? Yea I would be doing exactly what the doc says with all the broke skin exposed. john

The bike is getting replaced and the remainder of the loan paid off. It was $4,000.00 so it wasn't a cheap wreck. The frame is bent so it's done. His insurance is paying and my lawyer is going to do P&S, Medical, Replacement of bike, etc......
