| Skin -- bah! |
| 05.28.07 (8:14 am) [edit] |

Who needs skin anyway, right?? Ouch. Mr. Nick and I went for a 8 km walk yesterday, and I wore shoes that I *thought* I had broken in already. Guess not. About half way, my heels were quite sore (and my toes too). I thought I was getting blisters, but my heels were fine...just a little skin irritation. But for the last half, my heels were *really* hurting. I didn't want to take off my shoes and look, but I was bloody by then! After I got home, Mr. Nick helped me clean my heels with hydrogen peroxide. I've always hated using that stuff! It stings! I had lost considerable skin on both heels. UGH. I am not looking forward to showering for the next few days!!! And I've had the worst luck with season finales this spring! Either my shows were cut off (why must they lengthen those last episodes without lots of notice?? My VCR can only do so much!) or I accidentally taped over them or the cable was out. BAH! |

OUCH! Just reading this brought back painful memories, heh. And a tip for the peroxide thingy, mix equal parts of peroxide with water then apply. You'll still get the wound sterile and clean but you won't damage any of the exposed tissue--a nurse taught me this :)

Ooooh, I wish I had known the trick earlier. I don't plan on using more peroxide! And yesterday I found out it had expired in 2005. BWAHAHAA I think it was probably already a little weak.

Time for you to get a PVR or DVD Recorder; not only do you get substantially longer recording time, it looks 1000% better than VCR...

I thought about it when my VCR died...I hate my VCR!!!! PVR would be my first choice *sigh* Something to decide on later, I guess :(

And I have a job interview tomorrow, too! No flip flops for me! I'd better pile on the bandaids.

Ouch! I hope it heals really quickly. I'm wincing just thinking about it!

Thanks! I hope it heals quickly, too. I like having skin!

I've been trying to break in some new shoes myself. They're high heels that I've been wearing around the house in socks. I think that might be really "fashion forward," though. Did you know they have bandaids now that you can use to prevent those blisters from ever coming? Hope you're feeling better.

I've heard of such band-aids! One of my blisters didn't pop but has turned a lovely shade of purple. I should follow your lead next time and wear my shoes around the home more, first!
