Today’s
image – I woke with the area around my left eye swollen, really swollen, like I’d
been punched. There was an impressive bag
of fluid sitting beneath it; the lid above was like a pillow. Yesterday, a gnat bit me at the corner. I
knew it was a gnat because when I swatted, my finger squashed it. A gnat! That bite
itched all day. And this morning….well here
was some first-rate synchronicity—my fascination with inflammations yesterday, then
my own mini- cytokine storm today. I
wondered if I should take a Vitamin D supplement, but in the end, I resorted to
home remedies of a green tea bag poultice and a baking soda plaster to relieve
the swelling.
Another
damp and chilly Sunday with the deep soaking kind of rain gives me a day to
retreat and let my inflammatory response play itself out.
