I fell again Monday morning on the sidewalk [View all]

You may not want to look if you're squeamish.

I've been cleaning it with Hydrogen Peroxide and applying a 'triple anitbiotic ointment with a pain reliever ointment' included,
a generic similar to Bacitracin.

Finished the codeine pain pills and am now just using acetaminophen, and finished a week of an antibiotic.

It covers much of my right knee cap. The left knee wasn't anywhere near as bad. Guess I fell mostly on my right knee.
Teach me not to go out wearing shorts.

I see the doctor again Monday.

Again? You need to come up with a plan to stop this happening. How about a service dog? Karadeniz Jun 2019 #4
