Bloody hell, Jane!!!!!!
I'm glad you've sought professional medical advice though! What did they say?
*sharp intake of breath* "Ooh, that looks nasty!" "Blimey, that is horrid!" and other encouraging things.
They said my OH did a good job with his field dressings. The nurse cleaned it with iodine, ow, ow, ow, ow. And redressed it with iodine wraps, which were ow but have settled now. I have to go to our GP surgery to have it dressed every 2 or 3 days until the nurse says it's ok, and watch out for infection, and it will scar. But who sees the backs of your knees? I mean, except on the beach, and I am too old to worry about that
As usual I got told what a fantastic patient I am, so brave and good humoured, and I just wish I wasn't always getting the opportunity to demonstrate it... At least I didn't faint, though it was close when I got wiped with the iodine!
Jeebus!!!! Those are crackers!!!
Feel for you mrs those look seriously painful xx
Vibes for healing and Bio-oil does work x

Oh Jane! that looks so incredibly painful - and Iodine on them too - oh my I thought we had moved on but guess it must still be very useful. I remember the pain from my childhood from the iodine swab but believe me it was a light scratch compared to that! Masses of soothing healing vibes on their way

Dreadful how quickly these things happen before you can do anything to mitigate... Glad you sought professional advice - those wounds need keeping a careful eye on. Bad luck and well done for keeping a lid on the ouchies - not sure I could have done.
Bl**dy H*ll !! I read your original post but tbh took it with a pinch of salt as many people do exaggerate but OMG that looks incredibly painful and serious!! So sorry to see your clearly in agony and get well vibes for a speedy recovery xxxxxxxxx
