Reminds me of the time I fell out of the back of a jeep going downhill on an asphalt street.
When I woke up the next morning, my stomach and chest had ‘healed’ to the sheets. Sucked getting those off.
About a week later I took some friends’ kids to a neighborhood pool. Yeah, I looked kinda ‘scabby’, but I went swimming anyway.
After a half hour of so, I climbed out and glimpsed my torso. What had been scabs were now a neat, gooey-looking, greenish mess. Cool.
I thought about soaking it. So I cut off the pad (it was one of those gigantic thick ones) leaving only the layer of gauze that I was stuck to. And then I soaked for 2 minutes. And then I got bored, peeled off what I could and cut around what was left so now I have this circle of gauze permanently welded to my arm. Used a bit of rubbing alcohol and it seems to have dried out nicely. Oh and I remembered to keep my arm bent this time so I’m not stuck with an unbendable arm for 2 weeks like the last time I skinned my elbow 
(Yes, there was a last time… and a time before that.)
Whammo… yeah, I fell over while walking on the road. It takes talent, really. I also managed to skin my hands and my hip and bruise my thigh (it’s the size of an egg) and my knees (I thought I’d escaped injuring them, but them I undressed last night to find a pair of bruises on them). Oh and I also managed to hit my head on the bitumen. There’s a painful lump on top of it now. Twisted my neck too. But my elbow is the only body part with chunks (literally!) missing from it now. I wonder if I go back along that road, if I will find pieces of elbow on it. Ick.
No, as long as it’s normal saline. It’s closer to your own tissue than water.
antibiotic ointment is fine once or twice while it’s still raw, but continious use can encourage yeast/fungal growth, then you have a bigger bag of worms.
Wow, that sounds like an America’s funniest home videos type of fall. You do have talent.
I just took a shower. Evidently, my wounds are too fresh to get wet without dissolving the membrane thing that’s formed over them. I have an interview in 0 minutes. Ow ow ow ow ow 
Dude, watch out for gravity!
You must have been distracted like people who try to drive and talk on the cellphone. hope the gash regenerates…
Okay. duh. What the hell was I thinking?!?
Must drink more coffee…
Yeast, fungus AND worms??
Icky
Better a bag of worms than a can of hornets.
