I don't have near enough band-aids

Postby gunnerclark » Fri Jun 15, 2007 8:14 pm

I have an infected nail on my left hand. Not bad, but I'm changing the bandaids and ointment about 4 times a day. I thought a couple of big boxes of bandaids would be good for about a year.

I realized how many I used compared to the number I had.

If the SHTF I would bandaid every scrape, cut and nip, to keep myself from getting a life threatening infection. This increase of usage, would blow thru my supply in a few short months.

With that said. I just added 3-4 big Sam's club boxes of bandaids to my list, plus a few extra tubes of triple antibiotics.

The finger was so sore that I wrapped it in gause as a cushion. Guess what else I see I need more of?

Never enough

Also remember that if you run out of bandaids you can always use a little bit of super glue on it. Make sure the wound is clean though. Its going to sting like you know what ,but it will keep it clean and closed.
