I made an appointment with a podiatrist for next Tuesday. Now that iodine has soaked the wound, it looks less weird. It barely looks like a hole now. I have no idea what to think. The doctor will know. I should be okay till then, as long as I keep cleaning and sterilizing my toe.
My skin has started reflecting my stress again. Time for more zinc and perhaps burdock. I will start the Triphala again. Or maybe it's hormonal. I have been very strange these past few days. Mental skips, really. Woman mind traps. They happen.
I have something wonderful to help topically, though. Here, look:
Vital Daily Moisturizer
Ingredients:Aqua, Organic Bulgarian Rose Hydrosol, Organic Aloe Leaf Juice, Bamboo Extract, Pomegranate Extract, Linden Flower Hydrosol, Helichrysum Italicum Hydrosol, Vegetable Emulsifying Wax, Palm Stearic Acid, Organic Olive Oil, Organic Rosehip Seed Oil, Cistus Landaniferus Hydrosol, Grapeseed Oil, Therapeutic Essential Oil Complex, Organic Evening Primrose Oil, Vegetable Glycerine, Flower Essences, Organic Unrefined Shea Butter, Organic Virgin Coconut Oil, Seaweed Extract, Cranberry Seed Oil, Raspberry Seed Oil, Ascorbyl Palmitate, Trace Minerals, Soy Lecithin, Alpha Lipoic Acid, Methylsulfonylmethane (MSM), Tocotrienol (Vitamin E), Dimethylaminoethanol (DMAE), Acacia Gum, Citric Acid, Xanthum Gum, Unrefined Avocado Oil, Olive Squalene, Calophyllum Inophyllum, Tocopherol (Vitamin E), Organic Green tea Extract, Rosehip CO2, Seabuckthorn CO2, Black Willowbark Extract, Usnea Species Extract, Colloidal Silver
It is from Spirit Of Beauty Organics. See? If I could, I would make this.
Maybe I will have Kat try some. Her skin is none too happy. I will give her creams and ointments once her stitches are gone and the lacerations start to heal.
She will be leaving with her parents for New Mexico very soon, to live, and for school in Albequerque. And then she says she may go to Japan. I do not know what will happen with her Navy husband, who is in Japan, and who has not used his breaks to see her in a very long time. I do not know if he even loves her anymore. I hope her heart can mend. I hope he will come to see her soon. He did not even call when she sent him a message about her accident. They talk so sporadically and she ends each call a little colder and harder. I try to give her comfort. I don't know what else to tell her. I wish I knew why people do what they do, especially when they have made such a vow. But I hope Kat is comforted by our friendship, mine and Adam's, as she leaves to live across the country. After all, she and Adam have been friends for ten years. We will miss her company.
But aside from that... we need a girl's day. Pampering. I actually want to go out (or stay in) with a few girlfriends one weekend so we can have facials and massages and things like that.
Feel better in our skin. Underskin.

Date: 2005-07-17 03:16 am (UTC)Also the toe thing. Essential oils are an incredible remedy for fungal, bacterial, viral and other nasty microbial invaders . . . and for healing the holes they may create. And also,essential oils are ideal for hormonal and stress related acneic breakouts. I am an aromatherapy educator teaching at Bastyr Naturopathic University and Esthetic Institutes across the country (Google Jimm Harrison). I offer any information you'd like at any time regarding nutrients, essential oils and holistic skin care. You can reach me through the website email link. Or, I think we have likely been emailing each other and you already have my email address.
Life can be so much better, physically, emotionally and spiritually, when you know what foods to eat, supplements to take and essential oils to use. Even better when you can afford the right foods, etc.
