massive cut on elbow + swimming dilemma
hi!
hope everyone had a lovely weekend :)
i fell over on my way home from a friends house on tuesday last week and cut myself pretty badly on the arm, i think i must have scrpaed along the pavement because there's quite a big gash going over my elbow and down my arm.
it's painful CONSTANTLY even when its not touching anything and i didn't give it the proper attention the night it happened so the scabs a bit, erm, green. SEXY
anyway im supposed to go swimming mondays and thursdays but i blew it off on thursday because my arm was and is really quite painful to move around (i practised the breaststroke at my desk to see) ANYWAY it's still definitely going to hurt if i go today but i want to anyway.
i was just wondering, do you guys think it will slow down the healing process cos i'll be stretching it out and in and stuff?
i know you aren't doctors but wonder if anyone can give me advice?
plan to wear a waterproof plaster over it.....
