Grrr
Besides pain and fatigue and IBS and all sorts of other things, I have thinned skin due to shots and meds taken about 5 years ago for my back injury and pains. My poor hands look like they belong to someone 20+ years older. That wouldn't bother me if my thin skin didn't bruise and bleed. Sometimes I don't even know that I've injured myself until I start bleeding.
That was not the case yesterday. I was doing the laundry and hit my hand on the agitator. OUCH! I know when I do feel something, that it's going to be bad. I ended up tearing most of a circle of skin away. Boy did that hurt. I quickly doused it in peroxide and clamped down on the injury so it wouldn't end up being a raised bump that couldn't heal well.
As it is, it will probably take about 2-3 weeks to heal. Hopefully, in the meantime, I won't bump that hand again. I have so many scars on that hand now!
