Oh Polly -- I know how tough those treatments are. My DM has undergone
several -- and she has given me the play-by-play as she recovers from each one. I hope you heal quickly! And I'll be happy to pass the SPF 75! -- Kate in MI http://community.webshots.com/user/K_Groves "Polly Esther" wrote in message ... You are all invited. Dress: very casual.

I'm still in my nightie - but with 25 watt bulbs I should be fine!!
I'll come and bring some Thorntons chocolates or Bendincks mints. So sorry you are hurting; but the good thing is it won't last all that long - you know from experience that it will be over. Perhaps a loud piece of Beethoven on your piano would help distract you! .. In message , Polly Esther writes You are all invited. Dress: very casual.

Poor Polly Polly, I'll bring a hot passionfruit souffle! I've just this minute made three. It is my 58th birthday today and my DH's 57th (I love a younger man!). You can't have the crispy twice cooked duck legs though 'cos I've only got two! Hope your healing happens quickly and I'll catch up with you at the party later! After our dinner. Hugs Bronnie |

I'll come, please. As long as I don't have to leave the house.
I'll bring the dips and troughs! I'm physically healthy, but I wish to all heaven there was a bandaid to put in my leaden head. I'm still the 1-in-4 and I hate it. I hate it with a passion. And if I could pull myself together, at least I'd be useful as a pair of curtains! :/ But my sympathy for the sorely bits, and a gentle hug for your pain. Nel (Gadget Queen) |

Can't say I'm sorry you got the problem areas fixed, but I do
sympathize with the suffering. DH had some questionable spots on the top of his head a couple of years ago. Not to be neglected! Nothing to do with skin color! How about I bring a poppy seed torte with chocolate filling? Roberta in D On Wed, 18 Aug 2010 20:29:07 -0500, "Polly Esther" wrote: You are all invited. Dress: very casual.

It looks as though you have nearly a houseful now, but count me in anyway. I'm making a triple berry crisp for
dinner tonight, and will be happy to bring that to go along with the whine and wine. I hope your night was comfortable and that you're feeling less misery this morning! -- Louise in Iowa nieland1390@mchsi dot com http://community.webshots.com/user/louiseiniowa Polly Esther wrote: You are all invited.

Poor Polly Poor Polly, I'm so sorry that you are sore and hurting but very happy that you went to the doctor to get your 'spots' taken care of before they turned into something nasty. Can you put anything on the sore areas? When I was undergoing radiation treatment, I got a direct order from the doctor to keep the area covered under a light layer of Aquaphor lotion at all times. -Irene |

OT Polly's Pity Party
As many of you know, Dec 2008 I had surgery for malignant melanoma on
my arm. The 34 stitch scar is finally fading to a stil-there-but not- so-in-your-face, I am going to have a tattoo of thread with needle on one end of scar, and thread with knot on the other end of scar, done ) In April this year I has squamous cell skin cacer removed from my forehead. The wonderfully large bandage was quite a sight to behold for the first 48 hours. It was during the work week. So I dressed it up with smiley face stickers, which made all the attorneys do a double take and left them speechless [quite a feat!] Then when it came off and I had stitches for a week [wanted purple suture material but had to settle for basic black], I simply told everyone that my brains had been leaking and they had to sew me back up. That scar is still very visible. Ginger in CA skin cancer moves quick If you suspect something, get it checked out and insist. That's how both of these were caught.

God bless her and may we all have really good friends like that. * * Once upon a time I scratched my eye and had to wear dark glasses (mostly to hide the gooey gummy goo I had to use) until it healed. *My buddies at work wore dark glasses too. *We were all quite a sight. * * A reminder to us all to BE *a good friend. *Polly "Sherry" RSVP would be yes. I'd love to roll around in the muck with you.. I'm a terrible cook so my offering should be fine whine. I had a skin cancer spot removed from the bridge of my nose about 20 years ago, back when I was still a little vain. I was always in a constant quandary about whether to let people stare at a bandaid or stare at a scab until it healed. My BFF told me she'd wear her Indian Princess wig to work, and that would create a diversion, so no one would notice the huge scab on my nose. Now that's a friend. You can't even see the spot now. The dermatologist told me it was likely caused from sun damage back when I was a kid! Thanks for posting this though. Excellent advice not to ignore anything "funny." Sherry |
