To stop needing to invest in bandages or have all my clothing stuck in the wounds, ripping them apart when you undress.
Because it wont make me feel good about myself.
It'll devalue all I am trying to do to show others recovery is worth it and sustainable.
The risk of needing to go to A and E is not worth taking, because then EVERYONE finds out and its not just 'my problem' anymore. The unfairness of the fact that your dad feels he has to drive you 4 hours to and from the burns unit as well as get home when he is exhausted with his own life.
Because I need to be able to wear a swimming costume to enjoy my holiday and swim with my partners neice and nephews.
Itching, oh yeah, you forget how bad it itches when its healing properly.
