ismoIt's a good thing social interaction is good for old people. I may be overdoing it a bit. Ask me after Thursday. Today I had a Zoom at midday, and then went out in the evening to see my women's group, who celebrated my birthday early. It was a lovely evening as we caught up over our Christmases, they shared things they appreciated about me, which makes me squirm, but is nice to remember, and we had delicious ice cream and fruit, and they gave me some beautiful red calla lilies in a pot. Tomorrow I'll see Madame, Thursday I'll have a visit from Dragonfly, and then Thursday night the Dante book club is coming over for dinner! Aieee. I am a wonder worker, BUT. That's kind of a lot. I'm sure it will be fine . . . .
The Sparrowhawk has been anointing his head with flourouracil, to kill off the sun-damaged cells before they get out of control, as ordered by his dermatologist. He has very sensitive skin, which is one reason he needs this medication. However, his super sensitive skin also means that the rest of his poor face is very aggravated by it. First his forehead started to swell up, and then his eyelids puffed up like little water balloons, so his poor little eyes can hardly see out. At my kindly but insistent urging, he called up the doctor and reported this. The doc said he could stop putting the nasty stuff on his head, as it had done its job, and prescribed some steroid cream to bring the swelling down. I certainly hope it works quickly.
