Skin can take a while to heal

During this journey of two months now, I have also been dealing with a reoccurence of a skin disorder I have had since middle school.  It is called Dariers Disease and is characterized by scaly red skin that can pus.  Not only does it not look really good, but it is actually quite painful.  I have had it for a long time, but the severity of the latest episode caught me by surprise.  It went after the front of my neck and my chest, making it almost unbearable to turn my head.  In other words, pretty brutal, but I shouldn't complain.  I have so many other blessings.  All that being said, I have a return trip to the dermatologist tomorrow to show him the progress of the medication.  It's been slow, but I have seen some progress.  I will be interested to hear his take. 

At least the rash gave me an excuse to grow my beard.

Food:  Rice Krispies, peanut butter and honey sandwich, apple, a dish made with rice, spaghetti sauce, and ham, a good helping of peas, and some garlic bread.  I also had plenty of water and a travel mug of coffee.  I even snuck a couple handfuls of pretzels at about 8:00 which broke my rule of no eating after 7:00 p.m.

Exercise:  walked the dog in the morning and then took a walk with the family this evening

Weight:  Up .9 which seems to be status quo

Until tomorrow...
