 So it's Friday, it's been five days since I've come off my bike and if I look at the last five days I've progressively gotten worse. I'm sure I look really average because I feel really average today and it turns out that I've cocked things up again. I've learnt some lessons and I want to share those with you in this video. Essentially what's happened is after I publish that video of me coming off my bike a whole bunch of people reach out to me. One of the great things about the YouTube community that I love and I was having a chat with Derek, I have a Facebook Messenger yesterday and I thought I'll take myself to the doctor and the nurses there and the doctor have said well actually your left leg is infected and they showed me this big sort of area of infection so I hate taking antibiotics but for the first time in about 20 years I'm on them and also to better manage the pain and the scarring of the wounds that I've got I better cover them up and put on some ointment so I'll show you what those are shortly and in addition to doing that they put a dressing over my hip with a whole bunch of different creams and they said give it another 48 hours before you get it wet take it off and put it on again and I booked in to see them on Monday so if I'm to have a shower they said you need to keep the left side of your body dry so what I thought I would do in this video is as well as show you okay what are the techniques if you need to keep the left side of your body dry while you're having a shower in order to keep the moisture and the wet away from your wounds I wore gloves when I came off my bike so I'm lucky they'll call Phil Carnegie Psychon Club brand new gloves but they save my hands essentially I've got a few cuts here but outside of that it's fine and you've all seen those images and videos of people that have got both their hands bandaged and when you have both your hands bandaged when you take a dump you require assistance from somebody to help you clean up and I want to propose the question to my wife hypothetically if I couldn't wipe my ass would you help me out I wouldn't do that for you you wouldn't know what if I bought you gloves no I would hire a nurse it's called return on investment right and so if I had to wipe your ass the investment for me would be like I think would be done actually so I would rather pay for a full-time nurse I would get a hot one for you if you want to yeah but I'm not wiping your ass can you film me taking a shower now okay I can't wait till you heal up from me you can take the camera for me you shower fully clothed with your head on yeah I just don't want to get naked in front of everyone straight away because I know some people wouldn't like that so what I'm going to do here so this isn't infected this isn't infected in order to repatch I've got to get it wet though get this wet and then what I'm going to do is put the solar side on both of them after I pat them dry and put this is called fixable fixable then I'll put it over and repatch you see it was like leaking at the bottom there which is pretty gross I think I need to put another patch down there but the one that's infected is this one up here so this one I can't get actually wet so why have you got texture all over your leg well that's where the infection is apparently so they want to monitor the infection baby wipes to do under my arms yeah and then I should be clean and then because I don't want to get any soap in this and in that I'll put them in separately get rid of the band-aids and as a separate repatch so the key here with this is to really get naked balance get it off get it off I'll show you in a second just about those the hours of yoga are coming to your hand so don't want to get this side of the band-aid on your arm so that's where I have my technus yeah and that's why I was at fever last night it's got hooping cough vaccine which you sort of get partially off you've been injected why did you go hooping cough vaccine it's part of the tennis now so I'm gonna wash my hair with this hand because this one's got cups on and I'm going to use this hand to lean into the south is this legitimately what people want to see comment below you want to see more are you doing a fashion channel now because I don't want any soap fashion channel how you wash your hair I've got beautiful third-definition t-shirt so yeah yeah so the key here is not to put your head back under until your soap because you don't want the soap running down into your wounds need being on the right hand side need being is very important and you might pour head of wash and I'm going to wash this hand definitely with downlays like this so there's no soap going into the wound and now I can rebalance here get the head down looks like soft porn right now soft porn yeah my belly a little bit of belly porn a little bit of belly soft porn yeah so now this is key keep your head down can you come out so now I've got my head I'm just gonna and then I don't want to take them off so they don't have a sticky component you hurt yourself if you're on the drama this is not a good thing I don't maybe do this so the reason why you do this is keeping the wound moist is a much better way of the body healing pain management and also scar oh yeah I'm sorry I can't do this this is disgusting yuck oh yuck that's so gross yuck camera that's disgusting don't look at it just film it oh yuck gavs all so wet and gross so they were completely dry yesterday disgusting I'm so disturbed this is a this is a horror movie does that hurt does that hurt like a no it doesn't actually pulling it off the wound is fine see it's damn this is why you should always be careful of riding too close don't do that that's my face I'm gonna destroy something I'll find something else but I'm gonna pat this dry and recover it with these two things and that's that's done so we just missed out on a few things under your arms with the baby wipe um other side maybe around your old mate depends on your up so the that sort of finalizes the cleaning um the sole your side it's like a clear liquid like that and you can see on this wound actually I left that's what it was like it was dry and that's not the way you want to let a wound heal you want it to be moist so moist rub on the sole sole your side solar side solar side and then get off it now the trick here you take off one bit and before you peel it off you put it on see how I've even stuffed that up so it's a bit it's a bit of a tricky process black panther works 60 percent of the time every time every time okay here we go and I'm going to do that on my knees so to finish off this video just outside kids are in the pool we're a couple of days later and I wanted just to point out that this isn't a how-to video on wound management if you've come off your bike or if you've got wounds go see your healthcare professional don't do what I didn't wait a number of days go do it straight away and even if I look at the last like what you saw in that video I was making some mistakes there when I was cleaning the wound I should have put it back under the water after the bandage is off properly cleaned it out maybe put on a bit of saline which is what I've been doing since and then you put quite a thick layer of that ointment on and you know it's questionable whether I should put a bit of dressing on it as well spoken to some different nurses and doctors since and everyone has varying levels of opinions and that's why I think the best case for you is to go see your healthcare professional but it's interesting what's happened in the last couple of days is that wound on the bottom of my leg it was fine it was dried up but for from a scarring perspective do a lot of cycling videos on this channel you know my legs need to look good and I didn't want to scar out so I covered it up and the next day it started to get quite sore and I didn't realize and you can see in that footage that it became quite red and inflamed and the next day my leg was swollen and that wound actually became infected which is quite unusual and basically what may have happened is there might have been a bit of bacteria or something strange on the wound I didn't clean it properly and then you know I've put the covering over it and it's got infected now the other unusual part of it is I was on antibiotics so what's happened is I've been to see the doctor again today I was freaking out this morning there was a bit of pus and fluid coming out of it it was swollen it was sore and I'm starting to freak out I've been to see another doctor and they've said well those antibiotics that you are on were fine for what you had but because this is more isolated we're going to put you on these different antibiotics which is frustrating because I'm now going to take antibiotics for another week and they've basically removed all the weirdness and properly dressed it and covered it up and taken a swab of the infection and I'll find it in the next couple of days if it's serious or not but it just proves that this wound management thing you know it's it's a serious thing you got to take it seriously I stupidly also went in the ocean the old school mentality that getting it under the salt water is a good thing it is a good thing but the problem with beaches these days is there's a lot of bacteria and there's potential that that's where this infection came from so another lesson for me there so what I'm going to do is I think to conclude this is now two pieces a line to my bike crash I want to do a third there's a dermatologist an expert who's also a keen cyclist I found online lives in the Sunshine Coast area I've reached out to him problem with filming and doctor surgeries and nurses they don't want cameras in their face which I understand they're loud there's some type of policy or procedure there but if I'm seeing someone independent it might be a different story so I'm hoping I might be able to do an interview with him and share some of his expertise around what's happened with me my experiences with you all so that's pretty much it I hope to catch you all in one of my next videos
