Lizzy,

Thanks for the empathy! And I have been at Spin already. The day after, in fact. Couldn't get a sub for my class, so off I went. I walked in, told them I was only telling the story once so they better listen, related what had happened, let them react, and went ahead with class. Funny, in it's own warped way. Most of them thought I was crazy for being there. Now that I think more about it, they were probably right......... I am realizing it was more of a trauma to my body than I initially wanted to admit. By today, I was feeling the effects of not enough recovery time. Exhaustion! I'm goin' to bed early tonight! And taking it totally easy for a few more days.

I checked out the Primal OTBSC site. Honestly, I could compete with a couple of them but most were pretty serious.

kpc,

Good advice! I have been keeping the wounds moist. Lots of ointment and vitamin E oil. It seems to be helping. It looks a little better each day. I had read about needing more protein to rebuild skin cells. I am not much of a meat-eater, but I'm trying.......... I hard-boiled a batch of eggs tonight and will eat those over the next few days. Also bought a lb. of salmon which I will hoard just for myself. Drinking lots of water is second nature. I love fruit. I love lots of veggies. Plus I take a multivitamin, an antioxidant supplement and calcuim everyday. SO........ that should be all to the good. I don't what more I can do. Get more sleep, I guess. Make my kids do more of the work at home!!! I like that idea!
