That was a buzz, working in the melanoma unit, testing a prototype detector that Rambo'd be proud of.
I've skinned a toe from dropping a sharp end of a woodcut on it, ~20+kg and keeping it dry, after all the Dettol, savlon, Betadine with bandaids that kept it a bit too pussy for days. Gotta love the bigger Stihl @ 98db, my saws are toothpicks; update, a big Husky.
My big brother says toes the worst

The stitches were unsuccessful. As the cut was too blunt and ugly. So, now I’m left with a gaping shin gash that needs to heal over

[marauding mullet]

Have you had any advice on how to manage the wound now?

[Hatchnam]

Just to keep it covered in eye-antibiotics until it’s crusted. Then apply betadine . Wait for it to heal / crust over before surfing again.
Look like it’ll be another couple of weeks

The sight of that purulent gash is warming Ricky’s loins.

Looks like my MTB accident.

I kept it covered and healed it slowly with Manuka honey.

Bathed it with dilute tea tree every night.

It will take a while mate.

Yeah I’m not gonna rush it.

Aside, fuck mountain bikes and the potential for seriously injury.

This joint out western Sydney parklands looks pretty ace but. Saw it yesterday, this is just one part of the tracks. Looks pretty decent!
