DAY 13 - Sunday 31st August

Forgot to take morning pics as off running early. Showered and applied the cream as normal. Noticed that skin under my right eye is a bit more sore than the rest with almost bleeding, but not quite. My skin is tight, with, oddly, a healthy glow in places. The original sore is a little itchy at times, but I leave it alone. Generally I think it looks more painful than it is. Actually it looks redder than the pictures suggest, but that might be my imagination. I had a good 2 hour run on a very cool, misty Dartmoor. My friends looked very concerned at what the thought was a 'nasty sunburn'. My explanation was followed by words of support and encouragement. I went to a car show today and one of my friends had brought along a sombrero for me to wear and a poncho. How very hilarious. I was grateful for the sombrero which kept the sun off me completely.

Evening. My skin is pretty uncomfortable. The tightness of my cheeks make opening my mouth wide a bit unconfortable, as if I'm stretching skin that doesn't want to be stretched. My daughter's teenage friends are over. Heaven knows what they think. Definite scabbing under my right eye that causes pin pricks of pain when touched. I showered, which was unite uncomfortable, especially trying to wash my face with my hands. Throughout the whole treatment I have been moisturising my forehead but not applying anything to the treated area except the treatment itself. I'm planning on ordering Aquafor on Monday (which I've picked up as a good cream for relief from other blogs) and I will phone the consultants secretary to enquire about an appointment to check on progress too.
