Have you ever had a super bad day? Well I know I have! Nothing would go right that day and I was just sick of it! This also carried out for about a week because of the thing that happened.
It all started on a very bright summer day. My family was on vacation at the time, in Arizona. We were about to head to the Grand Canyon. My dad said we wouldn't be there long, so being a dumb child I did not put sunscreen on! Why did I do this, I have no idea I knew it was very hot and sunny!
We walked lots of trails and before we knew it three hours had past. We decided to pack up and go to our hotel and relax. Around the time I wanted to go to bed i felt a stinging on my upper back region! I went to look in the mirror and my back was redder than a tomato! I had a super bad sunburn, probably the worst I had every had. When i told my parents i had a sunburn they thought is was just a little one, until they saw it. They did not know what to do to help me because we did not have any aloe with us. They just put some lotion on it and told me to get some rest and it would feel better the next day. So I did and got a wonderful rest. The next morning I woke up and it hurt worse! The pain hurt like my back was on fire! I complained and complained until my parents went to buy me some medicine. They came back with some solar-caine spray and some weird kind of lotion. At first the spray felt like little pin pricking me until it kicked in. Then it gave me a temporary soothing feeling. After about two hours it wore off and i put the lotion on. It worked a lot better so i continued to use it throughout the day.
Luckily I healed from it. The way I did was by using the lotion the rest of vacation. Then when i got home i used the aloe we had which felt really good on it. It felt like an ice bath in Alaska. By the way that's pretty cold! I am happy it got better, but I still have darker skin there than the rest of me! I still think it is so weird that it healed that way.
The next few line will be how I have learned to not get a sunburn! First is to always wear sunscreen, even if your just playing in your backyard. Also don't forget to reapply! This will make your chance of getting a sunburn even less! Second, wear a hat and sunglasses. I know you have herd it a million times but, do you want to have a lobster face! I use these two ideas to stay as sunburn free as possible.
In conclusion, this was a few ruff days that turned out okay. On the bright side I did not get skin cancer! That was probably the worst experience in my life! It is the most painful one I had ever had. Though I just remember that there our other kids going through worse things so I should be thankful it was only a sunburn. My parents and I have learned one thing, always wear sunscreen! This was the worst mistake we could have ever made. I don't think we were awake enough to realize to put on sunscreen anyway!
