Burnt Toast

Back of my legs look like burnt toast. Very attractive.

On top of the pain, which thankfully is not as bad as a coupla days ago, my feet are swollen. Something about the fluid from the burn has headed south, and something about the bad blood circulation. They look ridiculous, it's like in the movies when actors has to put a fat suit on. It's quite surreal really, looking down and seeing a pair of feet that are just not yours...

But, unlike the like message I posted, I'm in much better spirits. The pain has somewhat subside (either that or my level of tolerance for the pain has increased significantly... I'd like to think it's the latter), and I've decided it is better for everyone concerned that I stop crying and whinging about it. And of course it is easy to laugh at myself when my feet really are quite comical.

I'm not gonna think about the peeling process, nor the long term effect of having black and white legs. There's nothing I can do about it so why bitch about it right?

Hm, looks like I'm having good progress with one of my new years resolution, to not be so pessimitic. (Gentle) pat on the back for me!
