Idiopathic Injuries

Wednesday, March 30th, 2005 at 10:21 pm

So this morning I noticed that the medial aspect of my right ankle was slightly painful. Upon further inspection, I saw:


Abrasion

Now I haven't had any alcohol, or any other mind-altering substances (unless you count nitrogen narcosis), so you would think I would remember doing that. But nope, no recollection. Maybe I did do it on the reef, since I am now using closed heel fins, so no exposure protection from booties.

So anyone in Grenada remember me doing this? Any clues would be appreciated. :-)

Nice ankle ! Looks like an abrasion, maybe coral. Does not look infected. Put some Bacitracin on BID. If the surrounding skin becomes red, painful or swollen, take Keflex 500 mg BID. Usually it is multimicrobial etiology. NC, Papa

Thanks, Doc! :-P I put triple antibitotic (plus pain relief) on it… If it starts to look infected, I’ll head over to the clinic for some Keflex.

Yeah, unfortunately they went missing, so I am back to renting the full-foot fins.
