March Into Spring?

My Frog Pal Wants You To Know I'm Still Here.
 Well I didn't want February to end with out at least one more blog post. For being the shortest month, it sure seemed long. We haven't had a break with the cold temps since winter started. Working all the overtime since I went back to work after the first of the year. I was on vacation for the last two weeks in December. I was pretty much sick with something that was going around. The one major thing that happened 2 months ago I went to my doctor for a check-up, because I hadn't been for a while (18 months). And while I was in his office he told me I had some patches on my face that looked suspicious. Doc said they might be pre skin cancer. I spent a lot of time in my late teens and twenties out in the sun. Mostly in Texas and Hawai'i, I got sunburned a lot! So now I'm paying for it. I really didn't think much of it at the time, at 21yrs who does when your young, dumb and full of....... your know ;-). Any way the good doctor prescribed Fluorouracil  cream to put on my face twice a day for six weeks. He said by week two I was going to hate him. I'm now off the stuff and my face is healing nicely. But I do have photos before and during when I was putting this acid etch on my face.
Just starting treatment
Week Five
I'll have to make a follow up trip to my doctor to see how I'm doing. And I know Spring is just around the corner. Why just yesterday I saw some green poking up thru the dirt and dead grass. And in March are a couple of amateur radio flea-markets and big state convention down in the star city of Lincoln,NE. I'll have a chance for a mini road trip or two. People might look at me and see this hot older hunk, but I'm really an electronics geek at heart. lol. Well before I go to bed I have to check up on a couple friend's cat. You see they did a smart thing and went to the resort city of Puerto Vallarta,MX for three weeks. And left me in charge of their  kitteh. I usually get a Corona cap or shirt for my trouble. I didn't tell them what I really wanted was a hottie in a Speedo from the Blue Chairs Bar!!!

    1. David, Thank you. Sorry I haven't commented more on your blog. I do read it quite a bit. But work has been very tedious lately. I get on the computer and before I know it - it's time to mate head with pillow. Like right now. Later this week we're in for warmer temps.

  3. That stuff looks HORRID! Much like the acne cream I was given in junior high. Didn't know if the cure was worse than the disease! I guess if it's skin cancer, the cure is better.

    I need to see a doc about the same thing. Same reasons - sunburns were de rigeur as a kid. Even occasionally as an adult!

    You need to get your Speedo guy in a bar! I want one, too!

    Peace <3

  4. Hi Jay, I never knew I had so many friends at work. Every one just about would ask what happened. After a while some other friend I hadn't see for a couple of weeks. Saw me in Menard's and asked , I just stared at him blankly and said "what do you mean?" As you can see I decided to have a little fun with my condition. lol.
