A pink Granada? That guy had issues, and with that car, he shouldn't be too hard to spot. Need to stick it to him for leaving the scene of an accident Glad that you're okay, though.

When i went in to the doctor to get some antibiotic cream and bandages for my road rash awhile ago, they told me not to use peroxide, but alcohol (topically) instead. Apparently peroxide kills not only the bacteria, but also your own cells, making your wounds heal more slowly and less cleanly. I guess alcohol doesn't do that? Either way, make sure to keep it moist with cream/gel covered in linen bandages so it can still breathe.

get well soon! it took a couple of weeks for mine to heal completely, and it still looks kinda gnarly, but even so, its true, chicks dig scars.

yeah i have never used peroxide ever, with patient wound care. they make special wound cleansers for that type of thing. just remember two things 1) keep it clean 2) keep it covered, except when cleaning. every time you uncover it, the wound drops in temperature, and with the temp drop, the healing process slows considerably. wound temp needs to stay the same as body temp to heal quickly. dressing changes should only be done daily, unless they become saturated, or soiled.

Thanks for all the advice guys Wink

. I really appreciate it.

Well I'm glad to say that I'm almost at 100% again, just a small scar on my right knee is all that is left from the road rash. Grin

Now about my bike I glued the turn signal back together with some clear epoxy and its working fine. The left front foot peg twisted a tad but it's still usable. I took it for a run last weekend and it is running gooooood!!! Cool

Now the issue is convincing the missus to let me keep it after the wipeout. Sad

Well guys Wish me luck. Wink

yeah, that can be a tough one sometimes.. just point out that we all take a spill of one sort or another, you got your's out of the way early.

my count is at six times in thirtyfive years.

remember, sliding not bad, sudden stop bad....

Ride the bike & be darned caREful. She wont likely want to watch ya heal up again. Unless she rides, she really dont get it. Let her know you love her more than anything, but the freedom of riding is crucial to your hearts happiness. Well, IF thats really how ya feel,,
