Spooky, aren’t I!?! 😅 Though I pinch hit in other areas when needed, the “Halls of Connect” where I tend to focus my direction are in: Transplant, Blood Cancers & Disorders, Cancer, Cancer: Managing symptoms, Visiting Mayo.

Members are free to roam all groups of Connect where they can use their life experiences and knowledge to help out other members and offer encouragement. We’re like a huge family. I’m the old auntie at the kitchen table sticking her nose in everyone’s business…but means well. 👵🏻😂

Back to your Mr Sunshine. Ah, another of the indignities of aging… dry skin. Chemo will also play a part in that so hopefully once Val is off the chemo just a light coating of a lotion after shower will be enough to sustain him. But during chemo, he may need some help.
I had quite a counter full of oils and potions! Besides the Cetaphil and Vani-crème given by the hospitals, I needed some extra help. Burt’s Bees baby balm really kept my forearms and legs from being extras in a sci-fi movie. Some areas are still damaged 4 years later and feel like rubber.
A product that I really love lately is Andalou Naturals Skin Uplifting Body Lotion, Citrus Sunflower. It feels really nice and fades into the skin without feeling greasy.

You’re a super caregiver, Sheri! Right on top of all these new symptoms and doing exactly as you should…checking in hematology. While he’s immunocompromised small things can escalate quickly so it’s always appropriate to err on the side of caution! You get another good star. Hahah I can hear this conversation at your house though…Val doesn’t like being coddled and hovered over but you’re tough enough to stand up to him. ☺️
Keep up the good work! He’ll thank you for it someday…💕

As for a good weekend, we’re expecting 6”-10” inches of snow tonight/tomorrow with blizzard potential winds. Mother Nature didn’t get the memo that Spring has arrived! 🙄❄️☃️
