I’m feeling yellow on this Day 5 skin care selfie. Day 5. I can’t believe I’m already here and yet still not ready to face the world. Believe me when I say that it’s so much easier to share my new look from behind the computer. I didn’t go to church today. Just not ready to brave the crowds without makeup. Makeup allows a woman to hide. I’ll use it to eventually cover the scarring but for now I’m not able to wear it until the healing process is finished. So for now I have no way to hide.
The bruising is starting to take on that yellow hue. I know that means it’s healing. It’s the stages that a wound goes through. Tomorrow will bring a new stage. For now I’m just feeling yellow.
Skin Cancer Selfie: Day 5
One of my favorite songs…
And fitting for my moment of feeling yellow.
I had other moments in life when I felt yellow. I found myself listening to this song often while I was going through it. One day I’ll open up and share about those times. For now I’m getting through this moment. One step at a time.
Tomorrow will bring the skin care selfie for Day 6. I’m ready.
Protect your skin. Wear sunscreen. Do not tan. Get annual skin checks.
Thanks so much for putting yourself out there like that. You actually don’t look bad at all, you’re still very pretty, just sayin’. If you’d like to link up on my Motivating Monday, I’d love to have you! I think you have a great message. And that song is so fitting! Love it!
Awww! Thank you so much, Helena. That really means a lot. It’s rough right now for sure. I’ll definitely link up. Have a great evening!
Hi!
I came across this post while anxiously searching about lower eyelid basal cell carcinoma. I have just gotten diagnosed myself, and our “spots” looked exactly the same. I had it removed strictly for cosmetic reasons, not thinking a thing of it. As a 21 year old female, I am flipping out about the scar but I have found much comfort in your story. Thanks for sharing and I hope you are well!
Oh how scary for you! Will you have the MOHS done?
