The poor trees didn't fare well. With many of them blossoming, there were major downages on every yard. The neighbor's tree took out our back yard fence, the blackberry bushes migrated into the driveway and almost took out our powerlines, and branches strewn everywhere. Also pictured, is Arlo, a brown lab I am babysitting for a friend this week. Only 1/2 yr old and too much energy, good thing Taiga, the house dag, was here to take the brunt of it. Also, as my hand won't fit through sleeves yet, I go around one armed so my sleeve doesnt get caught on things or knock stuff over.
And on a completely different topic, you know how they say people and their pets start to resemble each other? Well about a year too late I've finally Guida-ized and started shedding my skin. Makes me empathize for all the unhappy moments I had to hold her down and get the last pieces of here shedding off as she squirmed in protest. Now I do the same thing with the Doctor at Al's clinic. Here's a before
and now the after/current....at least they look like fingers again...

My only comment, being very much a NON medical person is......EWWWWWW!
GROSS! Poor Ben. I'd feel your pain, but on second thought, never mind. Your hand actually looks better than the first picture, so I'm happy you're healing. I think we all learned a good cooking lesson too. Keep getting better...so glad Alex is a nurse, so you're getting expert care! Take care and happy spring. love AK
Hi Ben,
I've been reading some scientific studies that investigated honey's ability to heal burns and there is pretty good evidence that honey works just as well, if not better, as the silver cream. You might want to give it a try. Put some honey into a container just for your hand, dunk your hand in it to coat and then wrap your hand in gauze. The honey is hydroscopic, so it will kill bacteria, and it also contains peroxidases which activate certain white blood cells. There is also strong evidence that honey promotes new skin growth and it's meant to work really well for healing skin particularly from burns.
