Cords and Shadows


Sometimes it seems like I’m spending way too much time in medical offices. A lot of that time is spent waiting.

I took this picture while I was waiting at Urgent Care in Mount Johnson. I had a cut on my arm that was too jagged to just bandage up. My dog had scraped back a flap of skin with his sharp nails when he leaped on me in excitement. Since then, I had his nails filed instead of just clipped like before. My skin has gotten thinner as I’ve gotten older.

The urgent care center there was very efficient and the people were pleasant.

  1. I'm so sorry about your health issues, but this latest one certainly gave you a great photo-op! It's a really good image.

  3. I tore a nice triangle of skin back with the corner of a box I was cutting down for recycing. It hurt, and then hurt much worse when I washed it out. However, I pulled the skin back over the cut and with antibiotic cream and banddaids for a week, it's now healed completely up. Gotta remember the wash (and pain) is worth it! Glad you've figured out a good way to keep Charlie's nails at bay. Hope your cut has healed too!

  6. Glad you were able to get it taken care of quickly. I like the photo, and it reminds me of changing technology with passing time. The black coiled cord seems retro to me. Like what I would see on an old landline phone. The white cord is newer, like an ethernet cord. An newest of all is no cord, with everyone moving to wifi.

  7. J’ai, il y a quelques temps réalisé nombre de photos de détails dans des hôpitaux mais je n’arrive pas à les regarder sans éprouver un certain malaise. La votre est très réussie, presque abstraite
