More Human Purrs
My dad has had his share of trials and tribulations. A few months ago he
had surgery to correct blockages in the femoral artery in his leg. Last week he had a spot removed from his nose and it was bioposied and is melanoma. He has 4 more spots to be removed from his face in the next two weeks (which may require skin grafts and plastic surgery). Since he's a lymphoma survivor of almost 3 years now, we are understandably concerned about this new cancer. Dad, a former avid golfer, has had repeated exposure (over-exposure, actually) to the sun in his 81 years. When concerns about sun exposure came around years ago, Mom and I were always trying to get him to wear sunscreen on the golf course. He either forgot or was being stubborn. Now it appears he's paying the price. (I avoid the sun like the plague and practically bathe in the baby-strength sunscreen when I'm working those outdoor shows with John.) Purrs for this to be localized and easily treated and that this is the end of his troubles for a while. Jill -- I used to have a handle on life...but it broke off. |

I should've read this before my little adventure yesterday ... Purrs for this to be localized and easily treated and that this is the end of his troubles for a while. Many purrs incoming. My dad had a growth in his lip, but while it turned out to be larger than expected, all seems to be well now with no sign of return. I hope the same will be true for your dad. -- monique, who spoils Oscar unmercifully pictures: http://www.bounceswoosh.org/rpca |

I should've read this before my little adventure yesterday ... I didn't post it before you told about your adventure, Mo, but I was going to fuss at you and now I don't have to! Not that you intentionally got your sunburn, but you know... be careful! Snow (like water) is very reflective and intensifies the sun exposure. Many purrs incoming. My dad had a growth in his lip, but while it turned out to be larger than expected, all seems to be well now with no sign of return. I hope the same will be true for your dad. Purrs for your dad not to have any recurrence. And thank you. Jill |

I used to be embarrassed by my paleness. Now, at almost 45 (end of this month) I'm happy to say I look about 10 years younger than all those "sun-worshipers" who are the same age or younger than I am. We'll be sending the best purrs we can muster for your dad. Dan Thanks, Dan. We're still purring for your mom, too. Jill |
