Time (and medical attention) Heals All Wounds by Sombrero Guy

February 17th, 2008 2:21 AM

INSTRUCTIONS: Document a wound* as it heals, spending at least 4 days watching its progress. It can be on you or someone/something else. It must be a physical wound in the form of a bruise, a cut, a scratch, a burn, or something else that takes days to heal. No tiny hangnails unless they are impressively slow to heal and interesting to watch as they heal.

For bonus points, have acquired the wound doing something for SF0.

For extra-super bonus points, use leeches to promote circulation or maggots to eat away any dead flesh.

*Please do not cause this wound intentionally.

OK. Five days ago I managed to bash my elbow on the corner of the mantlepiece in my bedroom while swinging down from my bed. Because I have one of those high beds on stilts with space underneath.
This is the vicious corner in question:

Admittedly, not all of the dust was cleared by my elbow. I did also wipe the corner afterwards.
When I found this task the next day, I tried taking photos of my hideous injury (OK it isn't that big, but it hurts a lot when I lean on it wrong).
However, I found that your elbow isn't the easiest part of your body to photograph. As a result, many of these just appear as a kind of red blur on my skin.

1 day after injury:


2 days after injury:


3 days after injury. This photo is the worst of the lot. If you look you can see the scab in the shadowed area:


5 days after injury. Finally this moring I managed to get a photo with decent lighting. it is still a bit blurred but you can see more clearly that it is a scab on my elbow, especially as my skin looks so pale:


When I first injured myself i had continual pain in my elbow for about 20 minutes. It bled a bit, but not too much, and a bruise surrounded the area. If I had known about this task then, I would have got a photo about an hour or so after the injury.
Now, 5 days later, a scab has formed and there is less bruising. it doesn't hurt as much when I lean on it, and that is the only time I feel pain from it.

I have now learned to be more careful when swinging myself out of bed, but I can guarentee that I will hurt myself doing this again in the future. Because after a while, I'll forget to be careful.
