People tend to be so lax with their health. Ginger is beautiful I just want to give her a big hug.

I won't go into gory details but I went into hospital for an outpatient's procedure, which should have seen me out of the place in 8 hours, (surgery has moved on since 1968 apparently when I was hospitalised for 10 days. This time however, they managed to perforate my pancreas and bile duct, and I didn't get home for seven weeks. (Sigh) As for the skin cancer, my husband and I have both had very successful treatment to remove BCCs. nothing to worry about! honestly!

Beginning over 30 years ago I have had several such diagnoses that required Mohs surgery. On my face. Since then I do cling to the shadows and have worn sun screen every day and have regular check ups multiple times per year.<br /><br />Although I like to think that my time on the French Riviera was the catalyst for my basal cell, I think the truth is that I earned it during my Virginia youth when we were encouraged to get a little color and sun screen was not part of the plan.<br /><br />Do take care. xoFranceshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08352407314710067616noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3830720322970025712.post-30276486309654374332017-04-28T08:39:36.850-04:002017-04-28T08:39:36.850-04:00Those darn forehead spots!

I love young doctors but really hate the ones who are insensitive to aging and are almost (well not ALMOST) smug about their youth and my apparent antiquity. "Oh, we just call those barnacles. All older people get them," a medical student told me when I was 55 (I mean 39!!!). I wanted to slap the runt. I hope Ginger wasn't too offended.

I have had both basil and squamous cell carcinoma removed. Most of them are result of not using any sunscreen when I was younger. It's not a big deal to get them removed especially if they appeared recently.Starting Over, Accepting Changes - Maybehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06032033918798053005noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3830720322970025712.post-10009880535644730342017-04-27T18:44:54.818-04:002017-04-27T18:44:54.818-04:00Doctors and vets, dentists and optometrist.

After all, his sister died of skin cancer two years ago, so even though O.K. himself is neither fair-skinned nor unreasonably exposing his skin to the sun, it is something to be watched.<br /><br />My eye exams on Monday did not go all that well, but it could have been worse.Librarianhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05704656564078750607noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3830720322970025712.post-67141965128711915572017-04-27T12:06:32.621-04:002017-04-27T12:06:32.621-04:00Get well soon!
