Stigma stigma I've got a stigma

[substitute]

For the longest time I've had this recurring itch on my right foot, on top, almost to the toes. Especially at night it itches, but there's never been any red spot or anything, so I just put it down to either a sign of oncoming spinal disease or Shit Happens.

Last week it was really itching like crazy and I rubbed it to make the itching go away. Instead, a wound opened. Just like that, right in the middle of my foot. It's been there for several days now.

I'm not sure what the medical significance is of this (the thing is healing up and still itching), but it's obvious that I now have my first stigma, and I'm on the way to sainthood. I just need the other foot, both hands, and one in my side and BAM! a full set of stigmata.

Just so y'all can say you knew me.

I've had the stigmata for awhile now and I didn't get a goddamn thing.

That's...gross.

Why can't God show his love in sexy ways?

Seriously, it could be a brown recluse bite or other necrotic wound... Doctor doctor you need a doctor!

yup

Actually it's probably a much less dangerous spider bite (no brown recluses around here, and few black widows), but it's some kind of insect chomp. Darn little bastards.

An insect bite would go away after a few days.....

i applied for sainthood and all i got was this lousy stigmata. i think i'd rather have gotten the t-shirt.

It might be eczema. I don't know if you get sainthood for minor skin disorders, but I would think you'd get beatification at least. I'll have to check the bylaws.

how deep of a wound are we talking about here?

deeper deeper

[substitute.livejournal.com]

only a little one, but I could make it deeper if that's required for the saint thing

you have a bulb on your icon

220, 221, whatever it takes

As far as I'm concerned, that was the best possible reply to that question.

don't you have to be dead for x number of years and perform 2 miracles fom the dead on top of the stigmata to be CONSIDERED for saint hood.... or appear in a tortilla or something like that

I appeared in nothing but a tortilla once.
