Yeah... I would be kinda be suspicious too. But, the nurse didn't seem concerned, right? I would have someone look at it twice daily to make sure the discoloured area is not getting larger. You really can't tell by looking in the mirror. I have been monitoring my temperature by just a hand to the forehead. If I was to feel any heat, I would then use a thermometer under the tongue. At 102F, I would be on the way to the emergency or my doctor.

I gotta learn about that google stuff. I have only ever been to one forum or chat room or whatever and this is it. I searched medical sites and found medical type info, but I wanted the kind of info you and I have discussed. For instance, if I had known better, I would have bought a recliner. Sleeping propped up with pillows so I can't roll to the side in my sleep sucks big time. Pillows ain't no match for a 275 pounder.

Stay well. And careful around the fire with all that pyroxide and gauze.
