I am glad Repunzel's reply gave you some relief. Always remember, just because you think it doesn't mean you have to do it. As far as how long does it take the cuts to heal, it took almost a year for the cuts on my legs to stop looking that odd purple color. *Zen looks at her leg* hmm when my legs are as hairy as they are now you can't even see it. Ha ha.

I won't go into any other because I don't feel it would be appropriate to list healing times, kinda like giving each other better ideas of where to cut, if you know what I mean. This is a line of conversation that is best avoided.

<font color=green>But the implicit and usually unconscious bargain we make with ourselves is that, yes, we want to be healed, we want to be made whole, we're willing to go some distance, but we're not willing to question the fundamental assumptions upon which our way of life has been built, both personally and societally.--Bill Plotkin, Soulcraft
