My special place

My special place

Well yesterday certainly threw everything off track. But thanks to some very thoughtful and kind people I was able to get threw it and continue.

I cannot say a lot about what happened as I am sure you all understand but need this support in place.

Things WILL be ok, just a lot to work out.

Psych visit yesterday sorted out some of the things and more things will be happening early next week.

I am sorry if I put anyone through any despair, but unfortunately what happened yesterday morning had to be done.

Thank you all for your continued support.

Re: My special place

They do hurt @Emelia8 !

It is normal for the skin surrounding it to be red an inflammed. I would suggest you use moisturizer on them. Put it on as many times a day as you can, this will help them heal quicker.

I have quite a few, well maybe more then a few!!

Re: My special place

I have never heard of anyone having a reaction to the ink @Emelia8

That being said I guess it could happen. The ones on the bone do hurt more and it is normal for them to hurt afterwards too.

Hopefully they settle down in a few days. If they get really red you could try and use an antiseptic cream like they use for nappy rash in babies. That always helps too.

Re: My special place

@Emelia8 I have auburn hair too, but have dyed it many different colours over the years. I have kept it as close to my natural colour for a while now and cover the greys 🙂

Re: My special place

I used to dye my plain brown hair all sorts of reds, blacks, and grape but after a skin lesion on my scalp that was the end of colouring for me. I'm going grey slowly, mostly at the sides. It doesn't bother me in the slightest, and the same goes for shaving. I don't have a partner, and I'm clean, so why use nasty chemicals and harsh razors?

I was talking to my foster sister yesterday by phone @Emelia8 and today by What'sApp. She said that my foster mother was quite excited that I was staying with her this time (my foster sister's house will be full of her adult children & gchildren. And today I told my foster sister that I had had a good day out with friends and doing a jigsaw with my sw. I haven't had a good day in probably almost 2 months. I keep a daily mood & activity tracker on my phone. 💖💖

Re: My special place

Thanks for advice re tattoos @Snowie @Former-Member ... mine are only dots to be used by my radiation technicians to ensure they line me up properly each day for radiation therapy. Just didnt expect 3 little dots to be sore. 😔

@Bow ... A fellow redhead .. Yay. As a youngster I had firey red hair. Hated it. But by the time I was into early 20s it became a nice dark auburn, which I liked. Ive never dyed it. Rather than typical hazel or green eyes for a redhead ... my eyes are dark brown. I have the freckles of a redhead though. But they only come out in the sun. 🌞

Thats lovely @Sans911 how your foster mother is all excited about you staying with her this visit.

A good day for you today @Sans911? Yay ... so happy for you. 👍💕

This will be a good christmas for you I think. 🎄🍒

Emelia 🌷

Re: My special place

Oh I hated mine when I was younger too @Emelia8 as soon as I could I started to colour it.

I didn’t know that red heads are more typically blue or green eyed.... brown eyes and freckles here too 🙂

Re: My special place

I have lots of freckles @Emelia8 @Bow.But they are less visible now, or is that I don't notice them so much? I have very bright blue eyes that I often get remarked on. Apart from that I'm quite ordinary really.

Re: My special place

I really wanted my daughter to come out with red hair... but nope. Brown eyes and dark hair, which turned blonde. It’s got a little darker as she has grown so has a natural ombré look with the most gorgeous ringlets!
