Time (and medical attention) Heals All Wounds by Alek van Arki

August 25th, 2008 10:50 PM

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.

My praxis for this task is not all that impressive; I had an ingrown toenail cut out. Now granted, this is not what I would first think of when I think of a wound, but the healing process didn't start until my surgery (it got infected and was actually getting worse).
Anyway, my mom's friend performed the surgery and I had to get like ten shots to numb the area. Ironically, the medicine burned quite a lot. I've always thought I had a strong stomach. I was mistaken. While I was still waiting for the toe to go numb, I started to feel sick. That passed shortly after but my mom's friend wouldn't let me watch anymore. Well, I wasn't completely numb but I said I was anyway; I figured I could tough out any pain she dealt me. When she began to cut, all I felt was pressure. When she started to dig out nasty tissue, I gritted my teeth and beared with it. She saw this and hit me, telling me to let her no if it hurt. After that, I could barely feel anything. So she wrapped my toe and I left.
The day after, I had to put band-aids on it. I still couldn't feel it but I wouldn't care if I did; we were supposed to start playing badminton in raquet sports that day and if I missed out, I was going to be really bummed. Well we didn't get to play at all so I was only kinda bummed.
But the rest of my story is kinda uninteresting. At least, as far as I can think right now.

Day 1

Day 1

I just got a piece of my toenail removed.


Day 2

Day 2

I removed the bandage but the numbing stuff has yet to wear off


Day 4

Day 4

I no longer have a huge, gaping hole in my toe and I can feel it again.


Day 6

Day 6

The scabby-thing came off to reveal my fully heal toe that is no longer painfully ingrown.

"She saw this and hit me, telling me to let her no if it hurt."
This praxis is smackin' good.
