Two Doctor Appointments Today / myLot

Well, technically one is a dentist. This morning is my annual skin-care examination with the dermatologist. I have a history of skin cancer (melanoma) so I have to get checked yearly. Then the dentist was able to work me in this afternoon for that broken tooth. I'm starting to think maybe a filling fell out instead of a tooth breaking. I've never lost a filling before. I can't see into my mouth so I don't really know what it is. Beautiful sunny 40-something degrees here this morning.

After what all your husband went through at that dentist office, I'm not sure I would be brave enough to go there. I hope whatever happened to your tooth is easily fixed.

It’s another gorgeous day here. I hope your appointments go well. Was your history of skin cancer from spending so much time outdoors as a child? My dad has had skin cancer quite a few times, but it’s because he worked from a kid in the California potato fields to an adult helping construct a church building.

That's a good question. The big nasty melanoma was on my scalp. I've always had thin hair, so I guess the sun beats on my head and I don't realize it. I wear a hat now when I'm at the pool. The other melanoma was on my back near my right shoulder. As kids, we played outside all the time. We had never heard of sunscreen.

I’m glad it’s warmed up. I feel like I’m on What’s My Line back in the 60s….”One down and three to go, Mr. Cerf.”

My first one was today, I get tomorrow off because of the holiday, then another on Thursday, next Monday, and next Tuesday. Good luck with the tooth especially.
