I Saw the Light ( and it was not pleasant)

Dr. Bogart attends to me.  I like her!






I was there this afternoon for some infamous Red Light treatment (to help to clear up pre-cancerous spots on my fizzog).

 

My face was first anointed with something or other; then I waited for two hours in a cold and lonely room. I  looked  like this.


I'd forgotten this part of the procedure, so I was sans book or i-Pad.

So I slept.

Then came the treatment. It ain't fun. RED HOT HEAT.  Fifteen minutes on the left; then fifteen on the right.  It's like placing one's head in an Air Fryer,  (I think).

I was given a device which I could use to shoot cooling water to ease the heat.


All well and good but my fine motor skills are dismal.  My shirt got wetter than my face.

I survived.   My face is now glowing!



(Thank you Jesus!)

Of course I worried about Zion in my long absence.   Thankfully my good neighbour Cheney Green who holds my house key is a friend of Z.

He wandered over and took Mr. Z for a walk so that the latter could lift his leg.

GOOD DOCTOR      GOOD NEIGHBOUR      BAD RED LIGHT!

Not the best of days HELP! A mistake and a fall.

  I arrived in time for my 8:50 appointment with my Dermatologist.   The Receptionist told me that I did not have an appointment.  She checked the records and told me that my appointment is for Tuesday. I knew that.  Then the light dawned.  Up until that moment I had thought that it was Tuesday, not Monday. You'd think that calendars had not been invented! It got worse. I took Cooper for an early pee walk this afternoon.  He lifted his leg to cue. Then he took a strong and mad dash towards a Squirrel.  I fell down.  And great was my fall. Lots of scrapes.  No bones broken. Pictures not in order. Excuse duplicates. No sympathy please - I was foolish. Fortunately, I had an arm bandage to sop up the blood. It looks worse than it is. BUT  1.  I was foolish in two ways. First, I had taken Cooper on a short leash.  I'd have had more control with the double handled long leash. 2. When he made his mad dash, I should have dropped ...
