Some of you may have seen my thread about nearly removing my lip when my cat jumped onto the sink while I was shaving (Cats and Straights Don't Mix). That happened Monday, and from the depth of the cut I expected to be in bad shape for at least a week. I don't heal very fast. I treated it with vitamin E oil every day to try to speed the process along and four days later it's nearly healed! If it continues at this rate it should be nearly invisible by Monday. I get the oil in the little capsules sold at the pharmacy, they're full of the vitamin E oil. Just poke the end with a pin and squeeze out a little to apply to your cut. Great stuff to have on hand while you're learning the ropes.
