So it’s been a month since my accident. The minor cuts and scratches to my arm and leg have healed pretty well. They left some slight scaring, but it is all superficial and should fade with time, and either way they don’t bother me at all. My head wound, on the other hand, is still there. The dent has filled up with flesh, and a thin layer of skin has formed over it. The doctors have decided that I no longer need to dress the wound at all, and for the first time I actually got to see what the area under the dressings look like.

Today, for the very first time in a month, my head and hair were given a good, thorough wash. Gosh it felt like such a welcome relief, you have no idea how itchy and irritated my head has been over the past week. Itchiness which led to scratching which led to scoldings from mummy that I was leaving finger marks on the skin around the wound.

Arrangements for my journey back to the US are still in disarray. At the moment all Cathay Pacific flights from HK into the US are fully booked for the whole month of August, leaving me in quite a fix. As a last resort I could buy a one-way ticket with some other company. But we’ll wait a bit longer before doing that I suppose.

Sigh, really can’t wait to get back to Wes and put this whole summer behind me.
