As you can see, I had half of an eyebrow. The rest of the hairs had been scratched out at that point. The area around my lips was swollen and was mostly chapped pieces of skin with raw pink flesh underneath. My eyelids were raw – you can see a little blood on the one on the right – and underneath my eyes was swollen from scratching as well. The phone is hiding my neck, which had open wounds at the time.
