GAME THREAD DODGERS/ROCKIES

Outscored by 26 our last two series at Colorado. Good chance Colorado gets that above 30 tonight.

 

Goes without saying that they really should fucking win today.

Win, and then try to extend the lead by at least a game this weekend

 

On sunday i grabbed a pot that was on a burner i thought was off and burned 3 fingers raw.
The blisters were horribly painful.
So i rubbed them with lavender oil a few times that evening.
By nightfall i had no more pain.
By the next night i had new soft skin.

I have very dry skin but in a roundabout way because of that dryness i have never had blister problems.
I never wear gloves, when i was younger and lifted weights i would never use gloves. I tried but disliked the feeling. When working with tools or in construction i dont use gloves. Even when using harsh chemicals for cleaning and stuff.
Because of my dry skin issues i have used cocoa or shea butter on my face pretty much since birth. If not my skin gets red, scaly, and breaks apart.
So applying the moisture protecting shea butter on my face naturally also coats my hands.
And so my hands are always protected by a thin coating.

I also frequently remove the hard dying skin near the sides of my nails when i cut them. This keeps that skin constantly new. I cut my nails very often, a few times during the week.
This helps a lot to keep friction and heat down while working with your hands. Even if thats just data entry and lots of typing or playing guitar.
Friction and heat are what cause blisters. Specially on dry and hard fingers/hands.
The idea of pissing on your hands and pickle juice is to dry out your hands. This works in the short term but sets you up for more trouble later.
What you need for blisters is to keep your skin clean but not dry, supple and pliable not thick and impregnable, young and soft not hard and crusty, moist but not wet.
So using drying agents is not good.
You want to shave down your thickening skin so you dont end up with the worse kind of blisters which are the ones deep under the skin.

Pitchers or construction workers should also use emollients on the daily.
Specially those infused with healing herbs like lavender, henna and neem.
It should take a guy like Rich Hill at most a week or a little more to recover his skin back to normal.
I burned my hands 4 days ago and they are back to 90%, i can barely feel that the skin is a little different than on the rest of my hand. It should all be the same in a few days.
Essential oils are awesome for so many problems. I used to think it was a bunch of BS but ive been a true believer the past couple years. Seen so many issues just go away with an application of the right oil.
