This is the hole soon after the eschar came out. Unfortunately,
all the photos of this event were taken without the flash which makes
it more difficult to make out the details, but this is also undistorted
by direct flash. In the 2 o'clock position, the large root that was holding
the eschar on can be clearly seen. I walked across the house to get the
camera with the scab hanging and it broke, leaving the root dangling.
It was over 1/2 inch long. The exterior part soon rotted and fell off,
but could be seen in the tissue. This treatment was a mess--all that should
remain is bright red healthy tissue, and the appearance of several broken
roots shows instead. So, back to the black salve as soon as the lesion
heals over enough to tolerate it. One doesn't put black salve on raw tissue
without pain killers. June 3rd, 2004. |
