Thanks so much, Barbara. I&#039;m glad you find my posts helpful. Regarding bandages for digital ulcers, I use Coverlet fabric bandages that I cut to shape as needed. You can order them on Amazon. I prefer the 3/4 inch width. I use Aquafor ointment on my ulcers or an antibiotic ointment as needed. I&#039;ve also found that Medihoney, which is medical grade honey (also available on Amazon) can help with ulcers that are messier and need debriding. This was recommended to me by the Wound Clinic at my local hospital. Hope this helps!]]></description>

Believe it or not, Mad Magazine is still being published. My dad used to give me a copy of Mad and a Tootsie Roll Pop whenever I was sick. :) Actually, Alfred E. Neuman was a cultural figure well before Mad picked him up as their mascot. Ironically, his image first appeared in the late 19th century in ads for painless dentistry! See the link in my post. And thanks for not noticing my tooth gap!]]></description>

					<description><![CDATA[YOU ARE TOTALLY AMAZING!!  TAKING EVERYTHING IN YOUR STRIDE!  I SO LOOK FORWARD TO TUESDAYS WHEN I CAN READ AND LEARN FROM YOUR BLOG!!  I HAVE A QUESTION.  I HAVE SORE FINGERTIPS DUE TO THE RAYNAUDS AND MY SCLERODERMA. SOME YEARS AGO I HAD TO DEAL WITH THIS PROBLEM, BUT I HAVE FORGOTTEN WHAT I USED AS&quot; BANDAGING&quot; AND MEDICATION.  IF TIME ALLOWS AND YOU FEEL COMFORTABLE RECOMMENDING  APPROPRIATE BANDAGING,  I WOULD BE SO GRATEFUL---IF NOT, I COMPLETELY UNDERSTAND!!
THANK YOU, BARBARA STONE]]></description>

					<description><![CDATA[Probably a good idea to include the explanatory link about Alfred E. Neuman. I don&#039;t think MAD magazine is even published anymore. How many people remember it? I loved it as a kid, to my parents&#039; dismay. 
Having had invasive dental procedures myself, I feel your pain over the extraction, Evie, and hope the recovery goes smoothly and you get your &quot;flipper&quot; soon. I know the flipper will make you feel better, though when I saw you recently, before I knew about the extraction, I didn&#039;t much notice your front gap.]]></description>
