Debridement?
What the hell is that, you ask? You *don’t* want to know. Really. I didn’t know what it was when I accepted the appointment for this procedure, yesterday. I was telling Jenn that I’d be off this afternoon to deal with this appointment, and she sends me a link to what it is . (Don’t scroll too far down if you have no tolerance for maggots. I’m not kidding.
Um. GROSS? Um. OUCH?
Suffice to say (and I’ll never quit saying it now), DON’T WEAR JEANS without KEVLAR when riding on a motorcycle. Not ever!!

ooh! I learned what that is by reading Diana Gabaldon books.
I am not grossed out (I’m not normally by anything much). I am, however, extremely sorry that you have to go through this procedure. *hugs*
Thank gawd for debridement…. I didnt want to say anything about all the maggots in the office.
yay for maggots I say! I only wish they used maggots… But unfortunately, they used scissors and tweezers, and a sloughing device (what a euphamism that is)…. no Maggots for Tanya. I think we should start a movement.
I’m curious, Donna, what the heck did “Diana Gabaldon” talk about in her book to educate you???? Yikes!!
maggots, of course!
The fourth book, I believe, had one of the characters getting a nasty cut on his foot. So, she introduced our friend the maggot into the incision, and they ate away the dead skin.
The things you learn by reading trashy historical fiction…
MmmMmm Maggot omlet ….tasty!
