Hot Chocolate Anyone ?

Hot Chocolate Anyone ?

Hi All

There is a thread operating on the Lived Experience Forum under Night Shift where members who are having trouble sleeping for any reason give a bit of a shout-out, to see if there is anyone else sleepless and looking for company. It's been such a great thing, I thought I would start one over here too.

I have had the odd few nights where I have woken up on and off, and my kids have been having a bit of trouble some nights too, depending on what has happened during the day.

Being a carer can be lonely too, so if you are making an after-midnight cup of something hot, and wonder who else might be doing that too, maybe have a look-in here and see if anyone else is about.

Actually did not go to the docs @Shaz51. Been reading internet on it. Some say leave it...but i don't know. The blister plasters are made that they should not be taken off til they fall off!

Hi @Shaz51 @Anony18
Just as well you are not at my place @Anony18 I take delight in dealing with such medical matters.

Any advice Dr @Former-Member? I bought replacement blister plasters....am pondering to leave as is or replace it. Still not sure what is the right answer....

Re: Hot Chocolate Anyone ?

Don't know about the specific plasters but any mention of pus and I have the kit out @Anony18
Throbbing usually means the need to squeeze,
but if pus superficial only it is a wash with warm salt water or other disinfectant then a fresh dressing.

Not custard but there was tzatziki oozing out of my lamb and salad wrap.
