Brooklyn Back When - Open Thread

I get my stitches out Tuesday so I'll see what I can use on it after.

DEB,
DID THEY SHAVE YOUR HEAD ALITTLE CAUSE U CAN GET A SPIKE HAIRCUT LIKE ME LOL You do not know how happy it makes us all feel that you are home and on the blog.

Just looked it up and here is what I found, lol. Just in case she was fooling me, lol.

Egg for healing without scars

If you have a wound that you don't want to scar, eggs are going to be your option. Crack open the egg, and peel the inside skin from the shell and put this over your wound. This is going to help your wound heal without a scar. While it may be a bit messy it really does work!

omg MRS LAVORANTE
Went to school with her son and I just met someone recently that is still best friends with her daughter. I think i went to school with vincent and the sister was in your class Janet. Am I correct. Was the father a barber ???? WOW ANOTHER NEW MEMORY FOR THE BLOG THE LAVORANTE'S

Thank you Terry, you have no idea how i felt knowing all of you were worried and praying for me. I swear you angles helped me through it. I'm glad they didn't shave my head.

Janet ....we cant do that now....since we know so much about eggs and salmonella .....we used to crack an egg and mix it with bread crumbs and eat it like that ....things we know now!!!

Deb ....try to keep it clean and dry ....and im sorry to say this....if it starts to ooze ....you have to be careful ...cause you can get an infection in it. After awhile, after the stitches are out and its officially closed ....soap and water is the best thing to keep it clean ....then you'll go through the itching ...and the redness and finally after a year its starts to get lighter in color. But your here ...and thats what really matters .....now doesnt it feel like a brick was lifted off your chest ?????

suzie - a shower sounds good. Could be the sinuses because my eyes feel heavy too.

Will check in later. Hope everyone has a good day. Stay warm.

You can say that again. I feel so much better now that it's over.

Janet ....we cant do that now....since we know so much about eggs and salmonella .....we used to crack an egg and mix it with bread crumbs and eat it like that ....things we know now!!!

Yes you can. Salmonella is not in the membrane, and you are not digesting it which would be where salmonella hits.

LORETTA,
If it is your sinus' just keep on putting a hot washcloth over your nose and the top of your head. Some Israeli guy told me that years ago and it works and of course a hot steam shower.

Suzie and I think we are doctors LOL

negative k......why do they tell you to clean all surfaces of old eggs and chicken ....liquid!!

Terry .....we are .....LOL!!!!

Salmonella live in the intestinal tracts of humans and other animals, including birds. Salmonella are usually transmitted to humans by eating foods contaminated with animal feces. Contaminated foods usually look and smell normal. Contaminated foods are often of animal origin, such as beef, poultry, milk, or eggs, but any food, including vegetables, may become contaminated.

So, the membrane inside the egg shell is not going into your intestines, lol. Hope that makes you feel better.

Janet, Janet, Janet dont put the friggin membrane on anything ....just think if it has salmonella ...it is entering your blood stream through the open wound..... caprende' ??

Because it can contaminate other food that you place there. The same precautions go for chicken and beef, and you still eat it, lol.

Debbie ....dont listen to us ...just do as the Doctors tells you !!!
(pssst! dont do the egg thing!) LOL

It has to be contaminated with feces from the chicken and digested in your intestines to get salmonella.

Janet ....exactly if it can contaminate a surface .....why cant it contaminate your wound ?????

In Brooklyn, got a ride in and it is cold out I can not wait for spring.. WELL I am booked for Italy to see my son in the spring. I never have been on a plane for as many hours that I will be on for Italy. Mike is not going can not get vacation so it is just as well he can stay home and watch over everything. My son Michael, his friend and I are going. Jonathan's girlfriend will be there and her Mom and sister are also going when we go. Looking forward to going to Europe, never have been there before. REALLY looking forward to seeing my son since he will be there 3 months already by time I get there. SO I will probably be crying next week when he leaves..When I left him at college u would have thought someone died. Lori and I cried all the way home from poughkeepsie and that is only 2 and a half hours away.

WOW JUST GOT A SCIENCE LESSON FROM JANET . WE ARE JUST A BUNCH OF DOCTORS AND SCIENCE TEACHERS

No, you have to ingest it.

LOL Terry

Suzie??? Still waiting, lol.

Sorry Guys .....this is for Janet ....we were discussing Salmonella and Workers Comp cases ...on the phone......
Ill remove ...if someone is getting sick!!! Just tell me ....

Janet top pic is the skin graph ----> bottom pic.. is where the graft skin was poked with a grater
and stapled to the 3rd degree burn...its amazing what they can do!

This is very funny..........................

Ouch. My friend Cathy was in a fire and it was so hot in there, the paint was melting off the walls. Everyone backed out and she kept hosing it down. Later on, she told the officer that her knees were burned.

Hi Judy ....


Janet ....My Son walked in the house....passed me by and said ...Ohhh by the way ....my leg caught on fire at work ....and went to the bathroom ....like nothing .....I had to stop and think at what he just said .....so I guess he didnt feel it either from shock!

The chief dropped her off at the entrance to the hospital and she told them she was allergic to Silverdyne. Well, they packed it with Silverdyne and she developed huge bubbles and had a red line working up her legs (blood poisoning) Later, they had to stretch skin from behind her knees and spread it across the knees. She now has a very thin layer of skin on her knees.
