A biker's unexpected crash. It was a smoky day
in June 2023. Due to the strong winds, intense
forest fires were in cities near our areas. My
65 -year -old husband still felt the need to
bike ride in these circumstances. He was riding
fast and his eyes were irritated from the debris
in the air. Before he knew it, he hit a guardrail.
He utterly skinned his left leg, shin, and surrounding
calf. Leg injuries take longer to heal because
blood flow is furthest from the heart. An individual's
age and health also impact how quickly they recover.
Injuries or surgeries occurring in the daytime
heal better than at night because our circadian
rhythm allows skin cells to patch up surgical
incisions more efficiently.
