You should have seen the incision and the large number of stitches I got for a tiny red dot on the side of my face. My colleagues were surprised I needed to take 2 weeks off work, so I sent them a photo of all the stitches…..Just an fyi - I religiously rubbed in the cream recommended by the surgeon post op for quite so time. It worked a treat. All I can see now is a area of my skin on the side of my face that is paler than the rest of my face. No-one else would notice it Thank you! I have heard about creams. Note to myself. I will have to ask about that as well. And I am glad to hear that it is not unusual He just froze the red spot off on my upper lip. Right now, he is just having me put Aquaphor ointment on it (which seems like Vaseline in a tube) and very large bandages. But I will ask about things that might minimize the scarring. Thanks again!

Rare h20skibum Posted April 25 #119854 Share Posted April 25 It is 32° this morning, and we have frost. Hope everyone had their plants covered last night. I think last night was our last freeze warning for a while. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They were filming season five with Gary as part of the cast when sexual assault allegations were filed against him from a makeup artist. He has posted on another social media site, laying in a field of daisies, saying that he was "cancelled because of a lie". Captain Glenn has posted recently that he will be back in 2024 but nothing more than that. Not sure if they totally reshot a new season or what as they are all under NDA's. 4 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I had heard about the allegations but had not heard anything new. Gary is a predator and should have been gone from the show years ago. Currently Ben on BD reminds me of Gary. Maybe not as creepy but way to handsy on the stews. 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rare cruiselvr04 Posted April 25 #119858 Share Posted April 25 11 hours ago, Coralc said: So. Armchair physicians. ☺️ Why does a half to three quarters of an inch lesion require a FOUR INCH incision, with many, many stitches? I will ask when I go to have them removed. And I am thankful that it was removed. And it is horizontal on my thigh, not vertical. So that is good. I am just curious at this point, how the perimeters are determined. They still send it off to the lab to see if enough was removed. It just seems a little excessive. And since I couldn't watch, I was kind of surprised. ☺️ I had a very tiny one on my shoulder that “required” a 3 inch incision which seemed very excessive. I was shocked and didn’t plan to take time off work. My shoulder was hugely bruised and where it was at, it made it hard to raise my arm for a few days. I missed 2 days of work unexpectedly and was pretty upset for not being warned prior. I’ve had many of these, most on my face. Once the stitches are out, all healed, no scabbing left and 3 weeks post op I start using silicone scar strips. If I’m not out in public they are on 24/7. It flattens the scar and honestly works miracles. It works better than scar creams. I use them for a couple of months after each time. Sold on Amazon. 4 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
helen haywood Posted April 25 #119859 Share Posted April 25 When I had Mohs surgery on the side of my nose I was horrified that the tiny spot required the crater he dug out of my face and the huge unwieldy bandage on my nose. Couldn’t wear glasses. I felt the dermatologist should have prepared me for what the incision might look like so I wouldn’t have been so shocked. But it healed well…and DH had an idea what his might look like when the sun finally caught up with him… 6 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rare aussielozzie18 Posted April 25 #119864 Share Posted April 25 Thought I’d share these two photos that I received yesterday taken by the crew photographer on board our Vancouver Island Whale Watch. First photo is the Humpack we saw. Second photo - love that this photo of the Orcas is taken head on. 20 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Luka, who I really liked at first was also getting a little creepy in the way he was acting towards the stews. As far as I’m concerned I don’t care if they don’t bring back BDSY at all.

Arzeena Posted April 25 #119866 Share Posted April 25 (edited) @MJSailors MJ I feel upset for you. 🥰 Ask us here and we will try and answer anything you want to know. As for your answer: I believe your hubby read an older article/info. These days it is up to personal preference/choice. If you believe it is needed to protect you or if you to keep others safe, then keep it with you. Don't worry my hubby googles up old info sometimes and informs me "did you know....." and I have to tell him "yes I knew....3 years ago."

NHProud Posted April 25 #119868 Share Posted April 25 It has been discussed before at length however I can’t find it so any help here would be appreciated. I’m not looking for in depth replies just basic info of what to look for in buying a streaming TV. We are not into complicated technology and gaming . Just basic stuff.

Rare h20skibum Posted April 25 #119870 Share Posted April 25 Off to the “Big City” (Pittsburgh) today, and Apple Car Play was giving me fits. At least we got to CF ok, and we split a Cuban sandwich for lunch. Had hopes of saving room for cheesecake, but too full. 10 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rare h20skibum Posted April 25 #119874 Share Posted April 25 I started writing a couple posts yesterday, about some really strange things we encountered. After writing and reading, I would think ‘yes, that post will go poof, or could earn me a do not pass go’. So you all will just have to guess what still has me shaking my head. So probably best for in person conversations. Instead, I will share this story. Last night, Susan and I spent our Wednesday evening like we do every Wednesday evening. Packing bags of food for school age children to take home with them to make sure they have food to eat over the weekend. Our church sponsors this program, and we pack between 140 to 150 bags each week during the school year. Although we live in one of the wealthiest school districts in our county, most people would not think of the number of children who have food insecurities. We have been well aware, but probably because our daughter is a teacher in the district, and we have heard many stories since she began teaching. One of the teachers, who helps pack, had called during the week and asked if she could give out bags to four children who were not on the list to receive bags. They had approached her and told her they had not had a supper meal all week. Thankfully, the kids can get breakfast and lunch at school, but the numbers struggling with lack of food just seem to increase. I guess the purpose of my post is to make others aware of the problem if you are not already. It doesn’t matter where you live, the problem is there. Maybe look in to programs in your area and support them. I guarantee it will be appreciated. Ok, end of my thought for the day. And this is a better topic than the one that had me SMH. 18 6 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

While I still enjoy many aspects of Below Deck it unfortunately has gone down the same path as many reality shows where it seems to be all about young, attractive people getting drunk and hooking up and watching the ensuing drama. 6 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
