Update on my stupid chin, i.e., bike accident

I went to a walk-in clinic today (my regular doctor is out of town) and the doctor walked into the room, took a quick look at my chin and said, "It's infected."

She said that it was a "dirty" cut, and she would never have recommended the "glue" for a dirty cut. She said the difference between a dirty cut and a clean cut is a clean cut is where the cut is as if a knife did a straight cut across the skin. That would be a clean cut suitable for the human glue.

A dirty cut is where you fall off your bicycle and hit the pavement, chin first, and the dirt and crud on the asphalt is imbedded in the irregular cut of your chin, and that requires stitches.

She gave me two prescriptions for antibiotics. She also wanted to give me a booster antibiotic shot, but when the nurse expained to me how much it would hurt, and how previous patients cried, I declined.

She also gave me a tetanus shot, which the hospital was supposed to have given me the other night. I remember the nurse at the hospital, who initially interviewed me, asking me when was the last time I received a tetanus shot, and I said I couldn't remember, so she said I would need to received a tetanus shot, but it never hapened.

Hopefully the oozing will stop soon. It's a little embarassing to be in court with an oozing chin.
