Aargh Oak Allergy

 It started on Sunday night.   

As I tried to sleep my face was burning hot and my body was itchy all over.    I thought that it had to do with the Fluorouracil cream which my dermatological physician yet wants me to apply.  I got up three times to wash my face with antibiotic soap  - but got no relief.

On Monday my eyes were so runny that I could hardly read the computer screen and had to set it to the largest print.

On Tuesday afternoon we were at the dog park and I could hardly see.

As I drove home a light shone into my dim brain. It said "Allergies".  Maybe I am having an allergic reaction to the Oak tow?

Off I went to the Pharmacy to get this


It gave me a lot of relief through Tuesday night and I slept well.

Nevertheless I must have rubbed my left eye even as I slept.



It's not a photo' I would use on a C.V!

I'm delaying in making an appointment with an allergy Doctor since I will be seeing my dermatological surgeon on Thursday a.m .   I am sure that she will have some good suggestions.

In the meantime I am staying inside as much as is possible and will wear one of those COVID face masks when I have to go outside. (Cooper has to do his outdoor business!)

NO CURE SUGGESTIONS PLEASE  Unless you are an M.D.      
PLEASE!

Utterly Wonderful

  80 years equals family Fifty plus of us. My five remaining sibs and their spouses. Nieces, nephews, great nieces and nephews. Cousins, second cousins, third cousins A joyful and relaxed family reunion. Super food. Great food for children with activities for them too, including face painting. This 80-year-old child wore a birthday coronet and insisted on having his face painted. A marvelous family reunion; and the greatest celebration of my four score years.

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 ...
