Scar

[ailbhe]

The wound is healing. The scab is coming off the scar, which is freaking me out a little. One internal wound still hurts, but apart from that I have no pain in repose (except SPD of course, but time will fix that.)

I don't trust the healing process. I don't trust stitches to hold me together. I don't trust wound edges to knit.

But they are.

Do you pick the scab?

I remove those parts of it that have been chafed to 90 degrees from the skin, but that terrifies me quite enough without actively seeking to pick at it.

I always pick other scabs.

Yeh, I reckon that one would terrify me, too.
