Oh, the wound's very much open. I might have tried using the expired ointment if
it had been a year or two but nine seemed a bit extreme.  Come to think of it,
I've never been one for that sort of thing so I'm surprised I ever even bought
it.  Must've been when I was equipping the new place when I got divorced.

Thanks for the healing vibes!
