Oh wow the meds I'm on make me so sensitive to the sun!

Even though I was in the shade for most of the day, my feet were exposed to the sun for about an hour and now I have a sunburn on both my feet and lower legs.

Add to that, I have a bruise at the bottom of my right foot from rocks I slipped on while walking through the water. It's an actual bruise, I didn't know you could get one at the bottom of the foot. Now each step I take with my right foot is painful. It's a little better when I wear my sandals because they have supports in them.

I'm going into the ocean tomorrow. Wish me luck that something else doesn't happen. I'm going to wear a t-shirt in the water to protect my upper body from the sun.
