Corrections

The cut on your palm doesn't look good.

Is it a recent wound?

No, I got itit happened some time ago while cutting the wood for the fireplace.

A. I can't wait to catch up with the recent/ the latest news.

The scrapes on your shoulder, is itare they something new?

I didn’t see them earlier and there are not even scabs.

No, I have had them for the past few days/ for the last few days .

Both past few days and last few days work here.

They're just healing so slowly.

And what happened?

Nothing much.

I must have rubbed it against the tube wall while speeding down the pool slide.

"Speeding" is fine, but would sound a little odd in casual conversation. More natural would be "going down" or "sliding down the pool slide."

They said it ion the news that playground slides are not safe.

"On the news" for news you saw on TV or heard on the radio, "in the news" for news you read in the newspaper or on the internet.

Yes.
