I Need Help

I don't know where it came from but a blood blister developed on my right leg.

At first I thought it was a water blister but the color was different. So, out of curiosity I popped it. The blood just gushed out. And it hasn't stopped bleeding, although I have under control. The first thing I did was apply some Gold Bond Body Lotion. It's medicated, and has Aloe in it. Well, that did nothing. So I wiped it off, and put medicated powder on it. I have learned powder helps coagulate blood. But, this wound looked like a gunshot wound. That's how much blood there was. That didn't help much either

Okay, then I took a cotton ball, put some GB body lotion on it and that worked. A couple hours, and I changed it. This time I put an old sock on to cover the cotton. Unfortunately when I walked on it, the sock moved. So, this time I decided to change it again, except I cut the sock so I don't have to walk on it. That seems to be working. Now though blood got through to the sock. It seems to have stopped for now. So, I guess I should get off my leg. But, I live alone. I have no one to help me. If I want a drink I have to get it. If I want to eat, I have to get the food and prepare it myself. I called a so called Christian for help. I got no help.

I really do need help. I really should stay off my leg. My phone number is 717-866-2512 should there be someone willing to help. If I'm off my leg, leave a message. The most I am off them is 2 hours at a time.

I can't afford to pay anyone. I'm on SSI, and I get paid on the 1st. If I have no one to help, I will have to be on my legs all day. I need to get some food. And maybe things to better take care of this blister. It would be nice to have gauze, perhaps a better cream or gel, like pure Aloe Gel. And a bandage to wrap it.

Is there anyone willing to help. I know you probably don't know me. Well, when the good Samaritan came upon a man who had been mugged, he didn't know him, and helped him anyway. If only doctors made house calls.

Thanks for your time.

It is Friday, December 16, 2016. Going to Good Samaritan Hospital ER. The blood blister isn't healing. And water retention is real bad.

If I'm admitted, I can't keep you informed, unless you call, 717-270-7500.
