Avoidance

Ava cut her hand at work. Despite the application of two band-aids, the cut bled hours after the initial slice.

We, her big sisters, prodded her to visit urgent care. 

Once she arrived and learned she would need her supervisor to attest to the incident, she left the center. By her testimony, she avoids anything perceived as an inconvenience or that would require a confrontation. (I've seen this on full display when she refuses to correct a food order that doesn't conform to her vegan diet.)

We prodded her again. 

She returned to urgent care and started the care process. 

Small embedded glass shards kept the wound bleeding.

Avoiding care prevented healing.

Which wounds are you avoiding? They're still bleeding. Pursue healing.
