Dear 16-year-old Me Hi, Please Listen To Me...Sharon, When I Was 16, Some Friends, And I Went To Lake Hartwell. The Sky Way Mostly Cloudy That Day. We Played In The Water All Day. I LAYED On A Raft For Hours, No Protection From The Sun, Hey, I Was 16, And We All Had A Wonderful Time. One Of The Guys Said...Sharon, You Are Fried! I Said No Im Not,..But I Was. The WOREST Was On My Backside, And My Arms. I Was So Sun Burned, I Could Not Stand Clothes On My Body. I Had To Go To The Doctor, Because My Legs And Feet Were Swollen, The Doctor Said I Had Second Degree Burns, And He Gave Me Medication To Get The Fluid To Be Pushed Out My Kidneys. The Doctor Told Me To Keep My Legs Propped Up To Get The Fluid Out. I Could Not Stand The Pressure Of The Shower On My Body. Just Cold Water By Laying It Across My Back, And Just Let Cold Water be just Gently Run Over My Back. I Peeled TWICED, and The First Time I Started To Peel, I Had Water Run Down My Legs. I Worked During The Summer, and I Was Working Swing Shifts At The Mill, I figured up the Dye that went on the Cloth. Where I worked was on the Bottom where The Kils were that The Cloth went in to Dye The cloth. I Had To Walk Up And Down All Steps, And I Was Burned So Bad, I Should Have Stopped Working That Summer, But I Wanted My Own Money. I Have Been Sun Burned After That, But Never Nothing To Compared To That. Now Studies have Proved That If you Have Bad Sun Burns by The Age Of 16, you Doubles your Chances Of Getting MELANOMA, (Skin Cancer), and After My Husband Had Surgery for Colon Cancer, I had been under so much Stress, and not eating Right, and Both Our IMUNE Systems were low. After Edward was Released After 9 Days from the hospital, We Stayed In Greenville A Few Months Because He Was Anemic and He had To Have Shots. While I was walking in the Yard, I saw a Black Spot on my Left Arm. It looked like I had Just Dotted my Arm with a Fine Black Sharpie.
