Kristin:

I did. I was in so much pain and my skin was starting to blister that very night actually that I got burned, and the next morning was just the worst. And we were staying with some really close friends of ours in Honolulu, and our friend, she had this big aloe vera plant. And she sliced it up and put the leaves directly on my skin and just left them there as long as I could bear them to be on my skin, and I remember it felt cooler, and it did give me some relief.

I am not sure if it helped me heal any better than I would have if I hadn’t had it, but at the time, anything would have been a great panacea because I was just in so much pain.
