Wounds can be well covered up, but left untreated underneath the layers of bandages, they will not heal. Remove the layers of cloth and they will be infected. Begin to clean and treat them and they become as painful as they originally were when they were fresh. Only when they are treated properly, will they heal, and although healed, there is always a scar to remind you that they were once there.
Some of you have just taken the old bandages off and are in the painful state of debriding the deadened tissue and feeling the pain all over again. Some of you are well into the healing process, but the sting is still there. Others are healed and have only the scar to remind you of the tremendous work that you had to do to get there, but its also a sign of your strength and determination. A badge of honour.
This forum is the medicine that will heal you and even when there's disagreement, I think its fabulous that you are able to stay bonded together and help each other heal. I think, when you are ready, the world needs to hear about it. Not only will it help with your healing, it may just save someone from the same fate. I cant express enough the admiration I have come to have for all of you. I don't know if I could ever be that strong. I am just thankful that I never had to face such a situation in my life.
