I survived last year's Iditarod, and who knows how many trails since then. What have you done lately? Yeah. That's what I thought. Move over."<BR/><BR/><BR/>Also, you've heard this before, but your writing is stellar. It takes a lot of skill to get me feeling so triumphant over a spot of pink skin! Your description of the frostbite was gross, but effectively so :P .<BR/><BR/>The human body is definitely an amazing thing, and it often surprises doctors with what it can do. (But you should still listen to them! ;) ) Congratulations!

It's like this mythical elixer that doctors seem to believe in, but that does, in fact, not exist. As far as photos: If you like, I'll send you the whole series of gruesome pics soon. My doctor is making a scrapbook, I think.<BR/><BR/>I really think that the fairly mild/60-90-minutes-a-day of gym exercise is aiding my healing. I didn't get a "don't do that" from my doctor. I just got a "keep it dry and keep your weight off of it" lecture. She even encouraged use of the recumbant bike. She seemed genuinely surprised at how fast the regrowth is coming along. Granted, her expertise is more with bad burns that frostbite, but so far the transition from damaged to healthy tissue is coming along at a surprisingly rapid rate, aloe cream or not. Although I'm bummed about scratching the race, being off my feet, medical bills, etc., I have to admit this whole frostbite thing has been a fascinating up-front view into the body's ability to heal.Jill Homerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02983065990450931943noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-18615538.post-26213069898548208972009-03-13T21:27:00.000-06:002009-03-13T21:27:00.000-06:00Okay, this made me wince a then brought a tear wit...Okay, this made me wince a then brought a tear with the image of the new baby skin! Whew! Be careful, though, give it time to heal -- train you mind so your body can heal. I remember I was working at a dance school years and years ago. Talking to a male ballet dancer, I said, "Seems like ballet takes a toll. Everyone seems to get hurt a lot."<BR/> "No, that's not it," he explained. "Everyone hurts themselves a lot. You don't need to get injured."<BR/><BR/>I've never forgotten that.
