We were invited a couple of weeks ago, so I never mentioned it. Wasn’t real sure what would happen after her surgery on Wed. We made pulled pork on Tuesday night to cover us over the weekend in case we needed to take it easy.
Bandages came off about noon, no swelling.
I need to tell you I am deathly allergic to shrimp, crab, and clam. It’s on my medical records not to put iodine on or in my body.
I have a permanent white spot on the forearm of my right arm where they put iodine under the skin to test that at a hospital before they did a test that required iodine. My flesh there within a few minutes started dying, it rotted away down through all three layers of skin and into the “meat” of my arm. It had to grow back from the bottom up so they couldn’t put a stitch in it. I was enrolling students in a school where I was a counselor and I put a band aid over that place because it made me look like junkie.
I can’t use any hair preparation that has anything from the sea in it, like kelp or something like that - there must be iodine in anything in the sea. That happened one time with a hair shampoo and my whole skin turned red and I had chills for three days plus nausea. When my scalp started burning at the beginning, I got in the shower and scrubbed my scalp to get it off me but it was already in my system so it didn’t stop the rest of my skin from turning red.
If I go to a beauty shop I take my own shampoo and conditioner.
