As I waited for my train out of the city Friday night to come back home I couldn’t help but notice all the trains coming through the busy station. I was late getting out and I thought I had missed my last train, when in fact, I hadn’t.
The human body is an amazing creation. All the means of recovery can be found within it. When we injure ourselves, whether it is a cut, burn, bruise, or break, our bodies respond in recovery. At the site of the wound, the first response is to wall off or conceal the exposed area from the outside with massive amounts of inflammatory cells rushing to the site.
