Hi Sue and All:

Well, I just woke up. It's 8:30 a.m. and I went over to check his leg. He's sleeping. The really impressive thing is that there are no more new scales. That has never happened.

Last night at approximately 10:30 p.m. I did the extra virgin olive oil thing. For the first time.

Previously, I would put the A D & E ointment, which would moisturize, but 10 hours later, there would be those nasty scales again.

BUT THIS TIME WAS DIFFERENT. I can only tell you what I just observed. The 5 inch thing was just red. It's like new skin. It's not raw, it's not flaming. It just like there's new skin. There are no scales. The three other patches on the same leg are exactly the same. No new scales. This is a first.

So what I'm going to do when he gets up, and after he washes and gets dressed, is.....I'll warm up some extra virgin olive oil between my hands (I don't use plastic gloves for this, just my clean hands). I rub the oil between my hands and gently put the oil on his legs. I even put it on the other leg yesterday because his skin is so dry. I'll do this for a while.

If we don't see any new scales, and the skin just heals, well, now, we might be on to something.

I'm am definitely crossing fingers toes, and anything else I can cross.

You have no idea the scales that came off of this guy yesterday. I never saw such a thing in all my life.

I hope the olive oil does the trick. Old Italian recipes, well somethings THERE REALLY IS SOMETHING TO THEM!!!

Will update.
