Today was better than yesterday. Yesterday I improved maybe three to five percent from Monday. Today seemed about 10 percent better than yesterday. There were times when all I seemed to be able to do was sit and pant. Then there were brief periods when I felt pretty good – but there were brief.
I did my tanning salon thing again tonight. At this point I’m doing six minutes at a time and finding it not very challenging. I don’t know if I’ll increase my exposures or not. Right now, at twice a week, I think I’m probably getting enough exposure to generate a good chunk of vitamin D. Although I will admit to some vanity, my primary goal is to get giant servings of vitamin D.
I estimate I’m getting enough exposure to generate 20,000 to 30,000 units of vitamin D a week. If I took that much vitamin D through supplements no doctor in the world would think it was a good idea. Also as I tan down, my vitamin D absorption will decrease.
I know some readers will question the wisdom of my sun treatments. The main objection I get is it could cause skin cancer. Well, skin cancer is not a real big worry at this point in my life. In addition, it has a 20 to 30 year incubation time. Let’s just say I don’t consider it a real big risk.
On the plus side, I’m told I have nice color in my face and my scalp is starting to become the color of my face. I think the more uniform color to my head is a more pleasing sight – and with my looks I need all the help I can get.
I’m in for another early night to bed.
