I'm happy that you feel like the light machine at the gym is helping your skin :)
I didn't know that you were going to the gym recently. That is awesome, even if it is just for the light machine or the massage (?) bed that you need :hug:

Kudos for resisting the cravings you were having and keeping the promise you made to yourself, and going home to make your smoothie to stick to your diet plan (((HUGS)))

Definitely good self-care :hug:

I showed my scars to the nurses at the infusion center yesterday, and they were amazed at what a wonderful job Dr. Chen did stitching me up, especially considering how invasive the surgery I had was.

But we have a HUGE mirror in our bathroom, and the scars are really, really bothering me. I'm just loaded with scars in general. So, recently I started putting Mederma on the new ones every morning. I can't see any difference yet. It will take time, but hopefully they will at least fade, and I will feel better.

There is no hope for my other scars tho. Mederma has done all it can do for them.

I hope the mederma helps.

some people get tattoos to cover up scars.

No descriptions, but I have several scars from my s/s attempt, and some are very big. I would LOVE to have most of them tattooed over, but it would be extremely expensive. It is something I have thought about A LOT. If I won the lottery, getting the tattoo's would be one of the first things I would do.

Sorry you have the scars. I have some scars too. But mine are
from surgeries and they aren't too big. And more just will hurt
and be troublesome that way.

Which makes it a pain to have them.

I took a shower yesterday, thankfully I got it in before it rained
since I didn't know it was supposed to.

I took a shower today and washed my hair. Put make up on concealer, eye liner and lipstick, even put on some perfume that I had not put on in years. Hubby said I looked nice.
Getting ready to go to brunch at the diner.

Bizi

You sound so good. I also took a shower today, had to hurry though.
In between rains. Because of the silly rain. I couldn't wash my hair
just got it wet.
