Exactly BP,, AFTER SURGERY!! My hand had been closed up for so long that the skin could not be stretched out for stitching. I ended up with the coolest open wounds I have ever seen! You ever see the show Terminator with Arny? Looking into my hand reminded me a lot of one of those robots,, I could watch the tendons pull and muscles work right there in front of me.. It made Tippy gag a little and did make me light headed some what BUT,, not that dissimalar from the operating parts of Deer I/we had processed thru the years so it wasnt that bad. I never even had heard of open wound healing before that happened to me. Had to completely dismantle the bandaging 3 times a day and run water over the gaping holes you see.. It took about a week but tiny little bubbles of new growth started taking place right over the muscles/bone/tendons that were exposed.. They looked like tiny little fish eggs.. As time went on skin formed and now look at what is left (see pic).. The creation of our bodies and its ability to heal is down right amazing @bpate4home!!!
I just took the pic,, this is what those wounds look like today!!
