Good Morning. Outside chores done and I've had a banana and a few prunes. Going back to bed. Trying to survive until 2/10 when I see the hip doc. Still waiting on an appointment with the neurologist.

Hope everyone is having a great day. Later today I'm off to Cape to see my ortho to check up on my knee(s). DH took the day off work to drive me.

How old was she when she passed or is she still living?

She was 99 years old when she died from complications of Covid in 2020.

Morning all. 34 degrees here.
DH is at dermatologist getting a PTD treatment. I call it the blue light special. They apply a chemotherapy cream to his skin, make him set for an hour or more while it cooks, then set him under a blue (or red, then it's a red light special) for about 10 minutes then send him on his way. His skin looks fried afterwards. Two trains of thought on the procedure is that it can either prevent eruptions of squamous cell skin cancers or it can cause the ones already formed to surface so they can excise them. Either way, he's in for a rough three days until the inflammation subsides.

In the mean time I'm puppy sitting and trying to tidy up the house while she is napping. Said yesterday that having a rambunctious pup thundering around is like being grandparents who's 2 year old grandchild has come for a weekend visit...and NEVER goes home. DH said yeah, and we can't even have the fun of teaching them bad habits, spoiling them and hyping them up on sugar before we send them home to mom and dad to deal with.

I see the doc on Wednesday about my back. Still bothering me. Today isn't a bad day but I know if will rise up and bite me on the butt if I don't set down and rest it on occasion.

Oh wow, MC, you've got your plate full today. Poor DH, does it hurt? Is it like a sunburn? I so sorry, poor guy.

Yeah, pretty much like a bad sunburn. It doesn't blister but it does cause raw areas that can crust up and scab. Usually runs it's course in about 5 days but for the first 36 hours he can't be in the sun or it will exacerbate the reaction to the chemotherapy cream.

Usually Ibuprofen or Naproxen handles the pain along with ice packs but he's pretty uncomfortable for a couple of days.
