OK, I'm back from the doc where he said I'm healing up real well and to
keep doing what I'm doing.  He gave me a tetanus booster and sent me for
X-rays just to be sure.

I asked about Silvadyne (doc pronounced it differently, so I really am
unsure of the spelling).  He said it would work too, but was best on
burns including friction burns which I don't exhibit.  He'd write a
perscription for it if I wanted.  I took a look at my knee (which made a
radical improvement from 10PM last night) and decided to pass.

Thanks for the advice though.
