We are forever getting little droppings from Birds I guess and they sprout up maple trees and all kinds of trees. I spotted one in my large growing up through my Pine Straw, it was about 2 inches in height and very small. I reached down and pulled it up and tossed it. Then when Baxter was ready to go in he went up and sniffed it and I looked down and noticed it was “Leaves Of Three” so what do you do for leaves of three? You leave them be!!
We came in and I washed and washed my hands and put alcohol on them as well. Within 72 hours the itching started by day 4, it was almost full-blown, between my fingers on both hands, my stomach, and oh me the worst my right breast. I went to the dermatologist, got a shot and some meds. While there he scanned me again and I showed him the tiniest little spot on my right forearm that had just come up with the week. He said wow, we need to biopsy that. Sure enough, it came back as Squamous Cell Carcinoma. This Tuesday I has it removed with Mohs and 12 stitches later here I am. They said the margins showed they got it all, but this was not my first one, I’ve had 2 more over the years. Sunscreen folks, I was such a sun lover and we didn’t know that much about sunscreen 30 years ago. It takes years for them to show up 20 to 30 after a bad burn over and over, so please wear your sunscreen.
I also have a childhood friend that is dying they are placing him in a Nursing home with Hospice soon. He has been in the hospital for 2 months and they say he has not improved at all. Just think, I started to feel sorry for myself for a minute then I thought about my friend, he never married, and has no children. He did date a lot but just said he was not the marrying kind. So, I thought He did it his way, I did it my way for years, but now I try so hard to do it God’s way for me. Say a prayer for my friend that he will find the Lord soon, please. That has been my month thus far, how about you, comment and let me know if we can pray for you.
God bless you all have a beautiful Thursday.
Love,
Debbie
