The Blister Comparison

My beautiful husband provided me with an ah-ha moment the other night, as he explained his blister theory to me. When you get a blister on your hand and you leave it alone to heal on its own, it eventually shrinks back down and disappears as if it was never there. If you get inpatient, because blisters are uber annoying, and pop it with a pin, it withers down; loose skin and all. It has such trouble healing that way that the loose skin actually falls off and you are left with a raw patch until your body can get it taken care of. If one part of your body heals in this manner then it only makes sense to conclude that other parts heal in this same fashion as well. By extension, this explains why, when you have the surgery, the doctors have to pack the space left from the cyst removal to keep the cysts from coming back or possibly from becoming irritated from the excess tissue. When having the cyst aspirated and injected with fibrin glue, it simply glues all of the loose tissue together in a clump. This may be a cause of ongoing pain for those that have had the procedure done. It essentially becomes scar tissue in lieu of a cyst. The surgery option comes with a great number of risks and complications, too. Perhaps whatever they use to pack it with becomes another irritant in lieu of the cyst as well. Not to mention the risk of having one of your nerves cut.

Obviously the best thing would be for it to heal itself and then it would naturally know what to do with the excess skin and it could disappear like it was never there; goodbye future or ongoing complications. The Blister Comparison was most helpful in that it provided me with more insight on how my body works and how it would deal with the cyst on its own vs. through medical intervention. Furthermore, it helped to explain the reasoning behind some of the procedures employed by doctors. I enjoy researching and reading about all of the truths that have been discovered by others, but when you can see the truth for yourself (in the form of a blister in my case) it makes it a lot more, well...true! If you know what I mean.

Are there any other clues that my body has been trying to show me that I am simply ignoring? I already know that the answer to that is a resounding ‘YES’.
