My sweet little granbaby is coming to her home town in anywhere from 1 to 3 days time.She had her eye exam and there is no retina detachment and she has no brain bleeds and has gained weight and looking ever so beautiful!

Now I gues syou can tell I am a happy chickeria here!!! I am almost raisng the roof with my hip hip hoorays.

Anyhow that is my good news for the day... long time coming but hey well worth the wait.

Now my dr. appointment was so so... he says yes I do have rosacea and also some major skin damage from the sun... he gave nme a good long lecture.. told me from now on I need to wear nothign but long sleeves, a big floppy hat and my shirt buttoned up to my neck.

Now will I listen um errrr well not likely will do more sunscreen though.

He said it will cost me about 1700. for laser treatment if I chose to do that... dh had already promised me I would get it done this coming year so guess that will help some.

I did try to tell him I do not go out a lot in the sun and well he turned and said and you ma'am are a liar... look at your arms they are not white you do so go in the sun.

I more or less shut up then, figure I will not win with him.

Anyhow sun screen and me are best friends now and maybe I will help thi sout a bit... was not happy he would not give me cream for the rosacea though.

Oh well that is it for me need to go get showered up and chat with the family for a bit.

Hugs, Lor

LORI! We are so alike, I have freckles on my arms and legs too, and believe me, that is the ONLY color that even slightly resembles a tan!

Hey, I want to send a baby card to Nikki and Alan, so I am going to just send it to your address, if that is ok with you. Then you can deliver it!!! LOL!

Hi, Lor. Is she "home" yet? I know I'm late, but wanted you to know I saw your post and am so happy for you. Now you can visit more frequently? I'm thrilled that she is strong enough to move. Will keep her in my prayers. And now, YOU TAKE CARE OF YOURSELF. Easier said than done, huh? Every year I say I'm going to get LESS sun, and every year I'm as brown as can be, lol. I'm really trying to stay out of the sun and use sun screen, but I think I have a slight addiction. Well, we'll keep trying won't we. Take care, Charlie

Lor,

Looks like I need to read the board more often. Wonderful news about Akiva. Will make everyone breath a lot easier I think.

Your doc sounds like a bit of a stinkpot. Right though, stay out of the sun without cover. Ever considered how refined you might look with a parasol? LOL

Hugs,

Rain
