After 40 years, you'd think I would
have learned how to shave without leaving a piece of my face under
the razor. And when I consider the cuts and scrapes that appear
out of no where on my fingers and hands, I realize that someone
in my family is always shouting for a bandage. During their routine
check-ups, patients are constantly showing me kneecap scabs where
they embarassingly tripped on a curb, or the shin recently scraped
against a coffee table, or the long scratches left by an annoyed
cat. In other words, whether we're 7 or 70, we'll always be victims
to wounds of the flesh. Our WholeHealth Chicago recommendations
will not help you become more coordinated, or more adept with sharp
objects, but instead we offer a few simple ways to ease the pain
and speed up the healing the next time you scratch, scrape, slice,
or dice yourself.
