Dear
Cassi,
A
wound I have carried for some years now found new life this week. For once I
speak of physical injury, but the origin of this wound is unknown. I think that
it has to be a spider bite from some time ago and I have had it for a very long
time.
I
recall scratching at this wound in 2006 and making it come to life again with
pus and inflammation. Then it had stood over my skin by a quarter inch for some
days until falling back into a knot of scar tissue.
The
other day it itched again and I scratched feeling dead skin come away. I looked
down to see an open wound where a scar had once been. This was then sterilized
with hand sanitizer and left the scar over. Never being a man to leave well
enough alone I milked it of blood every now and then and only once did it give
forth infection.
When
I bathed the scab came free and left a wound that dried within the hour. I look
down on it now to see the inflammation almost gone. Could it be that this would
has finally seen to heal? I can only hope.
Hope
and heal, little sister,
Richard
