The Pony was at the Mansion on Tuesday, to pick up the Acadia to drive while his Rogue is in the shop getting a new compressor for the air conditioning. To the tune of $900, we found out on Wednesday! Good thing The Pony has that casino jackpot to help him out!
Anyhoo... while here, The Pony pulled up his pants leg to show me a red area at the bottom of his calf.
"Oh, Mom. I almost pulled one of your tricks! I just about closed my leg in the car door."
"NO!"
"Yeah. How IS your leg, anyway?"
"It is healing! In fact, my nighttime bandaid has been dry for about a week. I'm leaving the bandaid off tonight when I go to bed. It has a scab, and the scab isn't sticking out now. I know it's healing, because it itches so much!"
"Don't scratch it!"
"I scratch all around it, but not on it."
"You are playing a dangerous game!"
Heh, heh. I am very careful not to scratch off that scab. I hope The Pony is very careful not to close his leg in the door of A-Cad.
That is funny! I was just wndering about your leg, too!
ReplyDeleteKathy,
ReplyDeleteI don't know if The Pony did it with his own car, or SilverRedO, since Farmer H picked him up at the repair shop after dropping off the Rogue. I'm guessing the Rogue, since it was low on his leg, and SilverRedO has higher doors.
I am thrilled that my leg-hole is no more! Just a superficial scab. Yet very itchy.
You could abbreviate it and call it your L-hole.
ReplyDeletePerhaps you could write a scab book. It could be full of diagrams of body parts, with wounds/scabs in various spots, along with your detailed instructions on where to scratch...
I see a bestseller in your future...
Sioux,
ReplyDeleteI have to be extra-careful not to bump my L-Hole on the running board when I slide out of T-Hoe. It's the exact height of my CasinoPalooza traumatization.
I have not yet used the best scratching tool ever: a long wooden stick with a fan of pointy wires at the end, formerly used as a shotgun barrel cleaner, loaned to me by my dad when I was 8 months pregnant with Fetus Genius, for scratching my itchy swollen ankles.
Smooth on some moisturiser to stop the itching. How long ago was your injury? Your healing time seems quite slow, even for a deep scrape/gash.
ReplyDeleteRiver,
ReplyDeleteI DO! Lotion all around the scab every day after my shower, not right on it. The sticky bandaids all this time increased the itching of the near-scab skin.
April 19 was the door-gouge and bloodbath! Yes. It has been a long time. Corpses have healthier skin that Mrs. HM. I'm shocked that my leg didn't just fall off. Perhaps I should prop it up on an all-you-can-eat buffet, in the tepid sauce meant for rigatoni, WITHOUT a plastic glove, to see if this virtual colored water, the "La Croix" of sauces, might have healing properties.
