DAY SEVEN


Wow, what a difference a week makes. I feel like my life is back on track.
Today I wore a crop top and short-shorts. Last week the idea would have been impossible.
My itch is subsiding most places, but I’ve found (as I expected) that as the staph infection is being fought in the areas of my skin where it’s been holidaying for a while, it’s fleeing the antibiotic and turning up elsewhere on healthy skin. As a result, I’m getting super-itchy in places that have never had eczema before. More bearable than the deep itch, but still irritating.
But hey, I’ve had far more than my normal average of 15 hours sleep in the last 3 days; can I really complain?!
I can move all my joints without wincing; I can concentrate at work; I can think about life and smile; I can have sex without clothes on and feel like one goddamn attractive mofo.
My boyfriend is in awe of my new skin; we got together days before this flare started so he’s never really seen me with clear skin.
My family get daily updates and my mum cries with joy every time. The last time I saw her in person, she got upset because I was upset but she didn’t know where she could put her arms to hug me when everything looked so sore.
HERE ARE SOME PHOTOS FOR YOU LOVELY PEOPLE:
