yeah. it just keeps looking worse and worse. i cant even raise my arms right now because the skin on my back is so tight, nor can i wear any decent clothes! i cant go around forever in a tube top! for now i am just doing lots of water, aloe, and solarcaine or aloe with lidocaine in it. omg it hurts so bad. if it isnt looking better by tomorrow night i may hit up urgent care on sunday.

Have you taken any anti inflamatories? Motrin? Aleve?

oh Des! Feel better!

yeah, i have been taking ibuprofen. although i havent taken any since this morning. going to go take 3 now. just soaked in a lukewarm bath with tea tree oil for awhile and put some aloe on it. it hurts to much to even really rub the aloe in. i think some solarcaine needs to happen too.

on a side note, my kids still arent asleep. my son (4) just came and looked at my burn and has deemed it "reedeekleeus"

Des,, I realize this is gross, done it, but plain yogurt can alleviate a lot of the pain also

I found my MTN Dew. Ada didn't do a good job at hiding it. Got one in the fridge for tomorrow.

FACEPALM!!! Got up early got the kids ready Hubby dropped us off to the Annual Teddies Bear Picnic...right time...wrong day!!! ITs tomorrow DOH!!! all is good we played at the park/Narda Lagoon for 3 hours instead....god i love my kids...we get up to so much mischief!!! Even beter hubby came to pick us up early so he got to hang out at the park too...very rare for him indeed!!!
Des ur sunburn is definately 2nd degree burning hun!! i left messages on ur photos nearly all of them lmao :P

Recon OMG i remember Mountain Dew it disapperaed off our shelves here in OZ for a decade but now its so retro to drink it lol

am off to bed and then to get ready for TBP yay

Wow-wee, have you seen what the cat dragged in? I hope it drags it back out soon.

well, it's official. my sunburn is a severe second degree burn, but not into the third degree realm.

the doc said that despite how horrible the blisters are, they actually look pretty healthy with no signs of infection. she said to just keep on doing whatever i am doing and gave me a script for antibiotics in case i DO notice infection signs so i dont have to wait to get in somewhere.

she said that there WAS a cream that can be put on second degree burns, but she didnt want to give me a script for it because the blisters are so thin she is worried they will pop if i try to rub the cream on them. blah. so, for now, baths in tea and baking soda, lots of water, and solarcaine spray.

on a happy note, i waited until the sun was almost set and went and got my seedlings planted in my garden! yay! we are supposed to get rain off and on for the next 5 days or so. lets hope at least half of my seedlings pull through!

Glad you saw a Dr. Sucks that you have to wait it out :(

so,l today, i was forced to go to the mall to pick out a new dress for a family wedding in a couple weeks. I have to find something high backed to cover this up. i know the blisters and everything will be gone, but the line will still be there and i dont know what condition my skin will be in.

while walking into the store one of my blisters broke and started leaking. so, being self conscious already. i am trying to keep my back to the wall as i look at clothes and reaching behind me every few minutes to wipe the drips running down my back.

already feeling like a leper. feeling like a FAT leper on top of it all because i am so bloated i hear some lady loudly say, "ha! guess THAT girl wont be wearing a backless dress anytime soon!"

thanks for the compliment you cunt-bag! needless to say, i have been crabby as hell all day.

Awwww des, don't let what that woman says get to you. You're better off to just ignore cunts and walk with your head high. You got sunburned and there is nothing that can be done except treatment and time. And if that bitch has to be an idiot well then she makes herself look like a damn fool for saying that loudly for you to hear. Here is an e-hug to help you feel better. *hugs*

So I went to bed at 10 something last night and woke at 4 something this afternoon. Being awake all night and day the day before really made me sleep. I will be trying to go to sleep at a normal time tonight.

Whoa, whoa, whoa! Stop the presses!!! Des, did you really hear someone say that?

Above all, DAMN I love the "cunt-bag" comment. I wish you had said that to her out loud, but still....love the firey thoughts.

Second, guarantee she IS a snarley little cunt-ho from the head to the toes, just like you said. Bet she's ugly as all get out, snooty as the day is long, and smells like a can of cat food.

Lastly, just even out your tan if you're worried about that. Give it some time and it'll be just fine. Lots of aloe (still haven't gotten the ok yet to give you that full-body aloe rubdown, but I'm patient).

No worries!!!

BTW, I once had a bad sunburn across my chest when I was driving in the car for hours with no shirt. The white seatbelt marking across my torso was nan too appealing to the ladies at the beach that trip, I'm sure of it. But that's different.

yes. i seriously heard her say that and turned around just in time to see her lowering her arm from pointing. she had to have been in her 40s too. to old to do such things. not some nasty teenager.

i did end up buying 3 dresses though. i havent moved up a dress size yet, which is good, but the 4s are not fitting very flattering. but starting today i am REALLY cracking down on dieting. i think i am going to give up yogurt for awhile too and see if the dairy is holding things up for me. i have been eating a lot of greek yogurt for the protein since i dont eat meat. but before i rarely used dairy at all.

40's and doing that shit? I'd have walked over and asked her if she had a problem.
