Could Be Worse

I went on vacation to the Bahamas, and now I have a burning feeling.
It's not as bad as it sounds. Carolyn and I were walking down a street
in Nassau on the warmest (80ish, felt hotter in the sun) day of the
trip, and we made the mistake of walking side by side down a narrow
sidewalk. Next to me were some crappy metal doors/walls/gates, all
painted white, nicely camouflaging the nasty handle that was sticking
out like a big metal hook. I walked straight into that thing and it dug
into my shoulder. I didn't bounce off or anything. It just kept digging
until it had put about the deepest bruise you can get right into the
shoulder.
A week later, it's finally healing. I can tell because the aching has
changed to burning and twitching. I actually have a faint hope that the
army of white blood cells my body has sent to the area are healing old
injuries in that shoulder.
