I'm 50% of the way there and it sucks. Everything hurts at some point.
I'd tell you but it's really hard to type from this Tupperware they putty-knifed me into after The Incident.
Worm food.
I'd probably be dead from infection, and at the very least horribly disfigured. Was in a boating accident when I was 6 and had 3rd degree burns across my entire body.
Would've bleed out at 9 from arm laceration.
Yeah, i would be boned. Even just recently i had a wrist reconstruction
Not anymore, you didn't!
Ded. Like, so ded.
I think that's just what diabetic patient have to deal with, wound that never heal will get infection sooner or later. So i'll just die from paper cut.
Ded. I'd be nothing but a mass of stitches and have been burned enough times, if that didn't heal id be dead.
Slow healing is the one thing I notice the most about getting older. I'm in good shape and all, well nourished, it's not lifestyle. I broke my finger and it took two years to heal completely. As a kid that would have been 6 weeks, at 50 something it took 104 weeks.
I don't remember it, but my dad and I were going down a slide together when I was a toddler and he accidentally rolled over me and broke my leg, lol. I was only one at the time, apparently. I suppose I would've died then without any healing.
A few bruises and maybe some toes that need armor, but not too bad.
Would be in a bad shape but not dead probably.
Depends on what you're talking about. If you consider all the injuries we've ever picked up in life, we'd all be dead. If you're just talking about the injuries I have now not healing, then I'm fit as a fiddle.
