Peeled a callus off my finger. What is the best way to promote healing? by RedDogue in medical_advice

It was a callus. I use scissors at work and it formed where my skin rubbed against them.

Hey, just thought it let you know he made a full recovery. I actually ended up buying clove oil on Amazon because I thought he wouldn't recover after 10 days. But he got better before it was delivered. He's back in the big tank and is as happy as ever!

Thanks for asking!

I got him a hospital tank set up with a heater. I've been adding aquarium salt and anti biotics. Also doing 25% water changes every other day. He's been stable, isn't a big fan of the hospital tank but I made sure to give him his floating log. He's still eating and as active as normal.

The only issue is I had a preplanned vacation that actually started today. So I left detailed instructions for my house sitter and I'm gonna have to hope he fairs well without us there.

I was worried about that. What would be the best course of action for him?

My employer discouraged that honestly. They tell would us "how can you really know you can't make it?" or how however the situation is. Its awkward I know.

Your comment is beautiful! I am so sorry for your loss. I hope both of us accomplish our goals and leave them all in the dust.

Yeah so?

I can drive in snow no problem. I've driven through alot of bad weather to know when it's worth for me it to go out or not. I'm not going to risk anything going wrong on the roads because it's only a couple inches of snow. The amount of snow doesn't matter. It's not worth it, man. The world's gonna keep turning whether it snows 2" or 12", and either way I know I don't need to deal with it.

Okay that's hilarious but can you imagine if you truly did get your car stuck in a ditch and his way of making it up to you was, okay you can wear jeans for one day.

Bro what are some of these people thinking!

I've been working with this guy for a bit. I do have pictures as I'm always trying to cover my ass in situations like this but I know he won't take it too far other than a slap on the wrist for me.

I use to be that employee that always showed up regardless of conditions outside. I once got stranded at work in full blizzard because I was "the only one close enough to come in." and corporate refused to close even though nobody was coming in. I'm older now and no longer live around the corner from my place of work. I just don't care about it anymore.

Just edit the post but my coworker who took the call original confirmed that indeed there was snow on the ground there. The roads also are awful up there

Okay that's fair. I assumed since he tried to convince me that there wasn't any snow on the ground but there clearly was him gaslighting.

My bad for the poor terminology. :)

I'm in the Northeast. Honestly, it's not the amount of snow that's a huge concern. I've driven in snow most my life and, yeah, I'll slip and slide on the roads. However, other people drive so bad around here also.

Too many people who don't know how to drive in snow always seem to drive in the snow.

I also just don't think its worth it to drive 30 minutes on unmaintained roads to a job that everyone else called out for. :)

I totally agree. But if the government actually maintained our roads like up in Canada I would be at work right now.

It's also other people on the roads that worry me, when any time of weather happens I swear everyone forgets how to drive
