And this is why I love you. You are brave on the outside and thinking what I’m thinking on the inside.

How I wish you could come hold my hand as I go for my skin exam. I’m SO SKEERED. So very much!

Oh girl, I have HAD THE SKIN CANCER and it is scary, but you can totally live through it! And I have those dysplastic things all the time. I’m just moley, I guess.

Oh girl, you are soooo funny! Been going thru the derm check too and need to have MOHS surgery on a spot of basal cell. It is important to go to the dr and get it all checked out. BUT how come all the sudden, dr’s are finding all these old people ailments in such a young girl as I? Age spots, bursitis, in-de-gest-tion. Last time I checked, I was like, 13. If my body aged this much, why do I feel like I am still 20 in my head? And if I am gonna be old now, aren’t I supposed to be getting a retirement check and sipping a slushy drink in Florida in my moo-moo?

Sophie, I just wanted to tell you that I’ve been feeling a little like Mamaw BooMama this week. See, I went on vacation last week, and I have come home so injured and ailing, it’s just ridiculous.

(And because you wanted to know . . . ) I have a blister on my pinky toe from my otherwise-comfy flip flops, monstrous bug bites all over my feet and legs that required major doses of Benadryl because I was so allergic, a skinned knee from shallow-water snorkeling (and I won’t even tell you about the almost anxiety attack that whole thing gave me), and a now-peeling sunburn on my back from the day we took our daughter to the ocean for the first time and I got everyone all lathered up in SPF 50. Of course, by “everyone” I mean the kiddo, my husband, my arms and chest – but not my back.

I’m sure it will bless your heart to no end to know that every time I take a mental count of my many physical issues, I think of Mamaw BooMama. :)

P.S. I’m glad all your skin stuff is okay!!!

So glad whenever someone calls attention to the need to get a dermatology check. I had melanoma 10 years ago (at 27) and I still go twice a year for a full body check. Mine was on my scalp, of all places, and my hairdresser found it when my hair was up in foils. I have a nice little golf-ball sized skin graft on my scalp now that will always be bald (covered by my God-given thick hair), but I am so grateful that was the extent of it. I hope your readers will suck up the discomfort and take your advice!
