DAY 6 - Right when I'm planning to stay inside due...
DAY 6 - Right when I'm planning to stay inside due to my face cracking, peeling, itching life begins to happen. My husband gets the call! He has been on the Kidney Transplant list for six years, surviving on a dialysis machine, and now the Medical Center is calling because they have one kidney for him. This is the kind of call you get once in a lifetime if you are fortunate, you drop everything, pack your suitcase and go! We were on the plane flying to Oahu in three hours. My face had little pieces a skin hanging off it everywhere, it's cracked, and tight. I covered it with makeup, but I probably looked like I was a tourist who layed out in the blister sun all week, and felt like the Locknest monster! Oh well, I figured who cares at my age, my husband's life out rules my appearance. Needless to say, not one person asked any questions about my face, and since I was in a hospital for 5 days, no one really mentioned all the peeling that was going on. I just slathered on my new tube of Aloe Vaseline about five times a day, and within about three or four days most of the dark spots, and dark skin had peeled away. My skin looks a lot better, and has more of an even tone, except for the sides of my face. I have a few age spots that didn't cook away, but my dermatologist said my skin will need one more PDT. Maybe not right away, but within one year I will sign up for that appointment now that I know what to expect. As for my husband he was in the hospital only five days, and came out having a second chance at life. Please make sure you have a current drivers license with "Organ Donar" listed on it. There are 2,900 patients waiting in Hawaii that need a kidney, not to mention the folks who need livers, and hearts. Good news all around! Please live healthy and long! P.S. I have pictures, but not my cord for my camera. I will post pictures soon.
DAY 5 - My sun spots are very visual now, more...
DAY 5 - My sun spots are very visual now, more dark than before treatment, but my face is not as red as it was. The dark spots could also be the areas that have had more sun damage, then the rest of my face. Peeling around my chin area, a little more around my my nose. Tried coconut oil today, thinking that it would feel great but instead it seemed to cause more stinging. I went back to my Aloe spears, letting my face dry, and then apply a nice layer Vaseline. Keeping the fresh Aloe spears cold and whole in a baggy in my fridge. When I need to use one, I skin it, and then wipe it over my entire face. The cold slime is a welcoming relief. I haven't posted this past week due to the amazing event I will get into on the my next post, Day 5 actually happened on Nov. 5. Sorry my dates are messed up.
DAY 4 - Please don't pay attention to my post...
DAY 4 - Please don't pay attention to my post dates, I am catching up by using my journal because it's been an amazing week, and it doesn't involve my face. Face however is itchy, and first signs of peeling skin is starting on my chin, around my lip area, nose area, and on top of my nose. Using aloe spears, and my Vaseline. Not such a fried look to my skin anymore. Not much stingy areas, but forehead area has more sensitivity than any other place right now.
