Well, ratz. The scariest part to me is "swooped by birds"! Life's rough out there! To help healing, I'd say take it easy, know that your body is working overtime to prevent further injury, such as infection, and to heal what's happened. This summer I had the urban equivalent of your injury--I tripped and fell while running, and gouged one knee, scraped the other knee and both palms. Painful, messy, and decent potential for infection. I kept them really clean, took an extra 500mg vit C, and ate lots of protein and veggies. When I'd feel aggravated about it, I'd imagine how hard my body was working at the cellular level to repair the damage. ((((((Cc)))))) Hang in there. This too, shall pass. L.
