Sorry it happened, Mel. Tell Alan that for me.
I know what its like to fall, done it a few times- with MRI follow-ups.
Just as Jo said. Keep it clean and change bandages daily until it
looks good enough to leave them off.
For the trauma pain, an analgesic of some sorts will probably be all
you have to do.
It'll be sore for a few days.
If it's sore longer than 3-4 days and doesn't seem to be getting better-
head for the doc's.
