  • is always there when I need him, always puts a smile on my face, & has taught me more than anyone else has
  • tells me about how great of a fisherman he is when he really has only been once or twice
***Observation: More subjects opted out of this prompt than any other, but those who wrote were more enthusiastic than usual. Seems subjects were more sharply split than on any other question, though no one spoke of why.

  1. Ice compresses are excellent for hemostasis, swelling and pain relief. Ice should be applied immediately after injury. Bags of crushed ice and gel ice packs are usually used as ice packs. It should be noted that the ice packs do not directly contact the skin, otherwise frostbite or more serious skin damage may occur. For the duration and frequency of ice packs, the most common Ice is used for 20 minutes every 2 hours for the first 48 to 72 hours after the injury occurs.

    NIKSA ankle ice pack, Double-layer fabric avoids direct contact with skin, relieves pain faster.
