Guest guest Posted December 30, 2001 Report Share Posted December 30, 2001 , ANY SORE, open or not, that does not heal with a few days (5-6) should be taken seriously! Go to your DR. DO NOT PASS GO, DO NOT COLLECT $200!!!!!!!! Ok, so I scare you? Good! I have been nursing and caring for people for almost 40 years and you do not mess with anything that hurts or does not hurt but is tender, red, or bothersome in any fashion. No matter what the cause was if it doesn't go away you run like hell to your doctor. Now have made myself clear? The " old mother hen " in me kicked in when I read your post and I do appoligize if I seem " bossy " . I react that way to anyone that has a problem phyiscally. I hope it is nothing more than a bothersome little sore, but don't take chances, OK?

Guest guest Posted December 30, 2001 Report Share Posted December 30, 2001 Excellent advice Susie! Please never feel bossy, I too, feel our health and any aspect of it should be watched closely, and no, I am not a nurse, just another 'bossy' one! So, appreciate your sharing and being bossy! No need for apologies, our overall health, any part, is IMPORTANT! ~ g Susie Lemin wrote: > ANY SORE, open or not, that does not heal with a few > days (5-6) should be taken seriously! > I do appoligize > if I seem " bossy " .
