At the beginning of the year Gary was covered in oozing purple-red patches that looked a lot like psoriasis but never tested positive for psoriasis.
I don’t know when or why he turned the corner, but he is now covered in dry pink patches. His ears are still crusty, but the rest of him looks so much better. I mean, it’s still awful compared to anyone else. And about 20 small spots are still purple and bleeding and oozing, but it is so much better.
Because I know him so well, I reminded him that he has a doctor appointment coming up, and if he wakes up that morning and tries to tell me he feels fine now, no really, look he can now eat store-bought roast chicken instead of home-made, and white potatoes not just sweet potatoes, so obviously he doesn’t need to go to the doctor …
If he says that, then I will have to arm myself with a scrub brush and chase him out of the house.
He assures me he would not say that. Even though … he can now shower in hot water, not just cold water.
