Rollerblading disaster - scrape

In 1992, I was rollerblading in the countryside for the first time. A hill approached that I was not prepared for and I ended up sliding off the road into the drop scraping my left shin (about 6 inches long and 2 inches wide). I applied a lavender massage oil twice daily to the wound. I noticed that the healing process took about 2 weeks total.

Leg scrape

My healing touch practitioner was gardening, filling a wheelborrow full of black dirt when the tire blew and the force threw her onto her patio. As her patio consists of cement paving stones, her fall resulted in a 4 inch by 2 inch scrape on her leg that became infected. She put “Elemi” on it and overnight the infection was gone. The wound healed uneventfully after that.
