Bare Bones

Part of the skin grafting repair process is that skin can only be grafted to muscle tissue.  It cannot be graphed to a bone.  But both of my shins had bare bones exposed.  What was the plan to cover them?  Something had to be done.  And even though I was discharged from the hospital, and even went to school and did things out in public, we all knew that something had to happen.  Have you ever been able to look at your own bones?  And feel them?  It is strange, and yet I am oddly grateful, to be able to reflect on how I watched my miraculous body do what it needed to do to heal.  I was able to see and touch my bones, and then watch my body heal and re-cover them before my very eyes.  My big beautiful blue eyes.
