DAY FOUR

GUESS WHAT?!
LAST NIGHT I ONLY BLOODY WENT AND SLEPT THE WHOLE WAY THROUGH TO THE MORNING!
This hasn’t happened since January. I cannot express how much joy I am feeling at such a simple thing that most toddlers achieve on a daily basis. I am 24 years old.
I went to work with a spring in my step and a smile on my face. My entire extended family has been duly informed.
My skin is still extremely dry (but not as flaky anymore) and it kind of hurts Chinese-burn-style to extend my arm because the skin is so tight. However, I was right about the baby skin; it’s definitely coming through! I feel so lovely and smooth! Take a look at some pics, which I am considerably more excited to show you than on day 1…

Also great news – I had my first painless shower in months this morning. Hear that: I had a shower and it didn’t make me sob. I was also able to pat myself dry with a towel and did not burst into tears. I’m not sure I can put into real life words how incredible it feels to be able to say that.
Dr Aron is my hero. Maybe I’m part of the nutty hippie cult now.
