I gather she's still on her feet, but wish her the best as well.

I haven't sat in the sun, since we moved to New England from Florida, 25+ years ago...
The hubby and I go to the beach during the summer up here in Maine, but we sit under a wild apple tree in complete shade next to the woods the beach backs in to....the beaches where I live all have forests all the way to the beach...when the tide is way out I do walk near the waters edge with the hubby looking for aged sea glass, which is abundant up here, but I am slathered with lotion, wear a floppy hat, and usually a long sleeved white shirt put on over my suit.

Thank you for the suggestion!

Yea, that's a smart routine when in the sun, I should probably follow that myself, but I sweat a lot and find myself in tank tops all the time. I do believe this supplement is good to take even if you never have sun exposure, it's worth looking into, as it has protective properties.

Carebear:

I am hoping you’ve made a solid recovery since you posted the OP.

As you may recall, I don’t always agree with you politically. But I still think highly of you as a person. I wish you all the best.

Sun in Maine?

Sun in Maine?

Some folks in Maine consider the Sun to be a myth.

In Michigan the sun disappears in November and returns in May. At least that's what it feels like

Sun in Maine?

Oh it is beautiful here in the summer! Sunny, High 70s to mid 80s....and nights drop to 60 so you can sleep with fresh air, windows opened. A two week heatwave some summers of hitting 90 degrees which is hot as hell for us, who are not used to those temps...acclimated to Maine weather.....but it passes as quickly as it comes....pretty much though, they are sweat less summers...just lovely! We live about a mile and a half from the coast as a crow flies but in the woodlands and our winter weather is moderate due to the ocean warmth compared to inland Maine!

About two months ago, I had a skin cancer check with a dermatologist, and the minute the Physician Assistant walked in the room, before me even undressing for the body cancer check, she saw a mole on my face, looked at it, said I'm certain that is Basal Cell Cancer let me biopsy it, stuck numbing needle in, and that's that....next day, got a call it was cancer and them trying to set up the appointment to have something called MOHS surgery to have it removed....

Basically, they cut it out, then they examine it for cancer in the edges of the cut, I'll wait 45 minutes for results, if there is more, they will cut again, I wait again 45 minutes for results if there is cancer still then they cut out more and this is repeated until they get it all....it could take the whole day or half day....

This mole showed up during the COVID epidemic, it took months to get in with my doctor and she thought it was nothing...I knew it was not nothing....it showed up out if nowhere....but then Matt damaged his Rotator cuff and we dealt with that and surgery the next year and then after that we found out he had prostate cancer and then the radiation treatments, and then I finally got my doctor to give me a referral to a dermatologist, and it took 8 months to get the appointment....

Anyway.....here I am, 4 years later and finally, getting it removed!

It's right under the circle under my eye, near the nose.... I hope the doc works a miracle and it doesn't leave a bad scar....

My wife had the same thing on her face too, no noticeable scar.

Wishing you all the best for a safe, uneventful surgery

Okay, had the surgery this morning...felt no pain until about two hours ago and getting worse by the hour...it pretty much feels like a cut...skin is really stinging....
I'll know in a few days if they got it all...

I've had MOHS surgery twice, both successful. Here's hoping you are all clear!

My fingers are crossed for ya. Yes, squirrels have fingers and crappy little, vestigial thumbs. Break a leg and get well soon. I don't have all day.
