I was getting aggravated that the tracks on my arms were still pretty visible. Four days ago they looked like someone had drawn thick lines down my arms with a pencil.
Well, I've been exercising, drinking LOTS of water, eating healthy and taking One-a-Day vitamins. Today, the 'pencil lines' are no longer there. I now have short, pinkish lines and they aren't immediately visible. If you stare, yeah you'll definitely see them but who other than people like us stare at people's veins? I think the vitamins are a huge part of the healing.
Those tracks were a painful, everyday reminder of losing almost everything. They also remind me of the good things and people that I still may lose because of my relapse into addiction not so long ago.
Oh, I went to the doctor today to get tested for blood born viruses and sexually transmitted diseases. We chatted a bit about anti-depressants, bacterial infections and whatnot. I couldn't do the blood tests though because I had just eaten and the blood work shouldn't be done if you have eaten in less than 8 hours. Soooo... Saturday is when I get to have my tests done. I can't wait. I'm 99.9% that I have no viruses but its always good to have a definite answer.
I'm picking away at all the things I need to do and it feels good.
