Problem: Article: R.I.C.E. stands for Rest, Ice, Compression, and Elevation. These steps can be used at home to treat hematoma on your arms and legs and should be practiced on a daily basis for the best results. Try to apply R.I.C.E. as soon as you develop the hematoma for optimal recovery and healing. Make sure you rest the affected area during the first 24–72 hours of developing the hematoma. This will prevent any further bleeding and allow the area to heal. Some physicians recommend that you rest a lower limb that has hematoma, such as your leg, for at least 48 hours. The duration of the rest period is dependent on the extent of the hematoma. Apply an ice pack wrapped in a towel, or perform an ice massage on the affected limb. This will decrease the pain and swelling of the hematoma.  To apply an ice massage, freeze a plastic foam cup of water. Hold the cup and place a cloth or paper towel over the affected limb, then apply ice. Never apply ice or an ice pack directly to skin, as this increases risk for a thermal burn or frostbite. After the first 48 hours, you can use a heated compress, such as a heating pad or a very warm washcloth, two to three times a day, to help your body reabsorb the blood from the hematoma. Use a compression wrap or a compressive elastic bandage over the hematoma until it appears less swollen. You can find compression wraps and compressive elastic bandages at your local drugstore or pharmacy.  You should maintain compression on the area for at least two to seven days. Make sure the compression bandage is on properly and it is snug, but not cutting off blood circulation to the limb. A wrap that cuts off circulation will trigger throbbing in the area or skin color changes such as becoming deeper purple or blanching entirely. This will help to reduce the pain and swelling. Raise the affected limb above the level of your heart on a chair or a stack of pillows. This medication will help with the pain and swelling you may experience as the hematoma heals.  Ibuprofen (Advil, Motrin) is a very effective pain reliever and anti-inflammatory medication. Follow the dosage instructions on the bottle and take no more than two pills at a time. Repeat this dosage every four to six hours. Naproxen sodium (Aleve) is another anti-inflammatory medication. You can take this medication every 12 hours as needed for pain and swelling. Acetaminophen (Tylenol) is an effective pain reliever that can be used to ease any discomfort or pain. If you have a bleeding disorder, avoid taking non-steroidal anti-inflammatory (NSAID) drugs, including aspirin, as these medications can interfere with blood platelets and prolong your bleeding. If you have a hematoma on your arm, leg, or hand, you should do diligent home treatment and be patient as the blood reabsorbs into your body. After a few months, the hematoma should fade on its own and the pain should subside.
Summary: Do R.I.C.E. Rest the limb with the hematoma. Ice the area for 20 minutes, several times a day, for the first 48 hours. Compress the hematoma to reduce any swelling. Elevate the affected area. Take an over-the-counter pain reliever or anti-inflammatory medication. Wait a few months for the hematoma to subside.

Problem: Article: Wedge the tip of a flat-blade screwdriver underneath the thin metal tabs, then pull up gently on the handle to lift them enough to loosen the coiled wire. On some motors, there may be as many as 12-16 tabs in total. Try to bend the tabs as little as possible to avoid damaging them. If one of them happens to break off, you may have trouble keeping the replacement windings in place later on. Depending on the type of motor you’re working on and where the problem lies, the faulty windings may be found on either the stator or the armature. Snip each coil of wire where it connects at the top of the protruding posts.  Cutting out the spent windings can be painstaking work. It may be necessary to sever one wire at a time to make removing the coils more manageable. Be sure to count the number of winds in each coil so that you can rebuild the motor in the exact same configuration. Once you’ve cut every last connection, the old windings should come out with a couple of tugs. If you're having trouble getting them started, use the tip of your screwdriver or a pair of pliers for extra leverage.  Before you handle the cut coils, pull on a pair of thick work gloves to safeguard yourself against cuts and scratches. If the coils refuse to budge, it's possible that they haven't been severed completely. Look for connections around the posts or bottom of the coil that you might have missed. First, pull out the old paper out of the slots in the stator using a pair of pliers or tweezers and make sure the empty slots are free of debris. Then, measure the width of the slots and cut a sheet of insulation paper into strips of the same width. Fold the strips gently and slip them into the slots in the stator individually by hand.  If the insulation paper that’s already in place appears to be in good shape (it should be clean and intact), you can simply leave it where it is and begin the rewinding process. If it appears burnt or otherwise damaged, it’s a good idea to replace it before proceeding.  Do not, under any circumstances, attach the new wire directly to the bare steel stator or armature posts. The coils must be insulated at all times. You can order electric motor insulation paper online from suppliers that carry electrical materials.
Summary: Use a screwdriver to pry open the tabs on the brush pads. Cut the old windings free using a pair of wire cutters. Pull the cut coils free of the armature or stator by hand. Replace the insulation paper lining the stator if necessary.

Problem: Article: Move around for 5-20 minutes.    By now, morning cartoons should be on. Watch away. Now, go on with a morning routine. If your parents wake and ask why you're up, say you just woke up early or wanted to catch a certain morning cartoon. If you can get outside, then do so. It can be a beautiful sight. Brush your teeth and if you're going to have a shower, make it colder than usual, to help you to stay awake.
Summary:
Get up and do some stretches. Splash some cold water on your face. Eat snacks and drink more soda or pop/water. Splash a little more water on your face. Switch to early morning TV watching. Watch the sunrise. Start doing morning things.
