Went down hard yesterday...advice on wound care

[veggieburger]

Ahem.

I was JRA when I grabbed a drink. All of a sudden the pavement turned from glass to moon surface. Put my hand down and the bars were about an inch behind where my hand was reaching. Over corrected, yada yada, went down on my left side and skidded across the gravel.

No gloves, so hands are both sore and bruised. Partly landed on my elbow, so that’s cut up and tender.

What I’m most concerned about is my left hip, which is a bit like ground beef. Luckily I have fat thighs and was wearing tights, so that’s good. So far I have cleaned it, slathered on the polysporin, and I wear a gauze bandage when I’m at work. Anything else you have done to take care of road rash? Thanks all!
