Interests
Love to fish. Love to watch nature. Feed the backyard birds when I can. Into early rock and roll and country and western music. But musical tastes run from classical to big band to some popular, modern music. My computer is my gateway to the outside world.

My husband will have the surgery on Mon. and I was wondering about the anaesthetic....is it the general through an IV or is it something short acting? My hubs is not saying anything but I know that he is afraid to go under anaesthesia. His vision is also declining very rapidly now and it has affected his mood because he feels defeated. What would you say to him if you could give him some advice? His second surgery is already scheduled so this is a double whammy type concern! Hope you are doing ok and enjoying this bleary weather weekend more than us here! lol
Hug
LOL Eczema! I've had it my whole life. My oldest daughter does also. It is really triggered by food allergies. So something you are eating has brought on this bout. Also, cortizone cream still is the best option to treating it. Put a little bit on the affected area as SOON as you notice the "itch". It's very important to gain control early in an outbreak.
Well Done
Thanks so much for our Memories discussion group. I really enjoy readig it and adding a memory sometimes.
Thanks again.
Blessings
