I don't believe a poultice is good for an open wound; and, from your description, it appears to be open! Also, I thought they used poultice on farm animals and horses. Are you horse-like in some way?

JohnBoy, I wouldn't be surprised.

If the rumours coming from the gym dressing room are any indication, I think the answer is yes.

Papa -

I understand your pain.

First, get some butter and rub it around the wound. Don't get "I can't believe it's not butter" - it has to be REAL butter.

Second, crack and egg and mix it together with some milk and dunk a piece of bread into it

Next, preheat

Oh wait. I'm sorry - I was giving you the recipe for french toast

Actually, that's a pretty good recipe for a poultice.

Papa, there are teenagers that visit this site that have parents who don't want them to look at that sort of gore. We certainly wouldn't want to make it more difficult for the moderators because you couldn't exercise some discretion about your wounds.

Potato Poultice

Here's How:
Chop two unpeeled potatoes into 1 inch cubes.
Boil the potato cubes. Mash them.
Spread the potatoes onto a thick gauze or cheesecloth. Add another sheet of gauze or cheesecloth or fold it over.
Test the temperature with your hand, making sure it's not too hot.

Apply the poultice to the affected area. Wrap it with a dry cloth or towel and hold it in place with string or bandage.
Remove the poultice once it is cold.

It may not do much for the chest wound, but it will help the pesky eczema.

I think I'd agree with you, nomdeplume...I still hold that the pink is better with my complexion.

Have you a nextdoor vampire that could help you out with the blood thing?

Well, it all seems to be moot now as papa's abscence suggests he finally knocked off.

I've watched ER enough times... I think I can try to do a thoracotomy for no reason at all. At least it might stop the bleeding from the first wound.

reports of my death have been greatly exaggerated. away with your eastern tribal rituals, marlene. colleen, the bleeding seems to have slowed and clotted. put down the champagne, pj.

Nom, if you want papa to use bloodsuckers I'd suggest instead of a vampire he use leeches. There never seems to be a shortage of those around these parts.
