In which I offer a reminder

Tuesday, June 23, 2009
Yesterday I did something I do not like to do--I went to the dermatologist for my annual mole patrol. I don't like it because, honestly--who does? But it was over in less than an hour and I have a very thorough and lovely dermie who checked me out and said I'm good for another year. Have you had your full screening yet? I'm not going to squick you out with pictures of melanomas or horror stories of people who were killed by a single rogue freckle gone bad, but IT HAPPENS. Get yourself checked! Share this

Thanks for giving a heads up

Thanks for giving a heads up to your readers. My mom passed from melanoma. Annual exams have become a (tooth-grind-worthy) habit for me too.

We're kindred spirits.

We're kindred spirits. Yesterday, I had my annual check from my retina surgeon. Not dialated enough to prevent me from reading Ethan Frome on the deck, later in the evening. Wow! That is some pretty powerful writing. Thanks for the recommendation.
