Heating pad issue/ called my dr today

> *First of all thank you for your emails and advice. If it was really

super bad I would have gone to the hospital but thankfully it wasnt. there

were a few blisters and 3 of them were open. I put triple antibiotic on them

yesterday (a & d ointment) and then friend of mine came over with some

sivadene ointment she had when her son got badly burned and blistered up. I

called my mom about it cause she works for a company that deals with nursing

homes and their prescriptions ect. She said it was really good and they

prescribe alot for bed sores and blisters. I also tried to call my dr

yesterday but shockingly he doesnt have an answring service or even a

machine.*

*I called them today and they finally got back to me about 2. Said should go

to an urgent care/walk in center but i am going to wait til tomorrow to see

how they look cause they already looked better today- especially since

yesterdy.*

*But if they do look bad or look like may be getting infected ill have

dennis ormy friend bring me to a local walk in clinic we can find.*

*God this was so bad and i will never sleep with it again- i know was a dumb

idea but so tempting cause it felt so good....til i woke up of course

yesterday.*

*I may end up heading out to walmart with my friend to see if i can get a

good warming blanket. i think ive overused mine as it isnt as warm as it

was. I sw a few at walmart that looked so cozy thick ( i just have the

normal plain thin one) but i may pick up one of thse to sleep with.*

*Thanks again for your input n never sleep with a heating pad- its prob

common sense lol but u dont want to end up like this!!!!*

* in va*
