KISS THE DEAD, CHAPTER FOUR
Dec. 11th, 2013 02:15 pmSid has had this squishy bump on his back forever that I thought was a lipoma (benign tumor made of fatty tissue) but today I had to drain of this horrible substance inside it that was basically brown mush with white bits. I have no idea what the hell it is except it smelled like rot. Dad thinks it's an infected cyst where a bunch of blood got trapped, dried up into this solid-ish mush and mixed with white blood cell pus. Seems likely enough. I cleaned it afterward with hydrogen peroxide and triple antibiotic cream, and will be checking it again today, because it's surely started filling back up already. Sam's lump has grown back bigger than other, and she's got a softer one under her opposite arm too. Rats have really active cell growth, so they're always incubating something it seems. Of course, it also means they're really great at healing wounds and such! They're like Wolverine or real-live therians!
