About six weeks ago, I fell off my bicycle. I visited some doctors and applied many bandages.
Marks from the fall linger on my arms; although they may continue fading, I expect that some of the blemishes will be permanent.
There are also two spots on my arms that haven’t quite healed. One is on my right wrist; I accidentally banged this against a chair and reopened it at the beginning of September. There’s currently a little scab there.
The other is near my right elbow. At the start of the week, this site broke out in blistering, as if the skin had brushed against poison ivy. I wasn’t sure why this happened, but I thought it might have something to do with my frequently resting on my right elbow.
I made a conscious effort to stop leaning on that arm while reading in bed. The blister collapsed, and it seems to be healing.
