Today we took a trip into the city. I have a Doctor's appointment tomorrow to have my skin checked.
Being a freckle faced Anglo-Saxon I am always concerned about the damage I have done over the years by too much sun exposure. Having the cottage at the lake all those years, then moving on to this boating life-style, and wintering in Texas all contribute to my skin damage.
I don't think the sun was as dangerous, when I got my early exposure, as a child at the lake. No one ever told us to be careful, so I never learned to wear a hat, cover up, sit in the shade, etc., etc., etc.. Now with climate change and the thinning ozone layer, the sun is much more dangerous and I carry on with my old habits, which is certainly not a good thing, when I'm out in the sun so much.
So, once a year, I visit my Dermatologist and have her look for and deal with any abnormalities that she finds.
JUST ONE MORE THING TO WORRY ABOUT
(It's a good thing I'm not a worrier)
