Jerry--that's just fantastic news that you caught the melanoma so early and dealt with it.


And thanks for the tip. As usual, I'm not the one who has to really pay attention to a health warning--but Jan was just mentioning that she's concerned about what looks to me like a large pimple. (And at this point, all she's getting from the humira injections, which are to stop the degenerative spine disease caused by her own immune system attacking her, are bad side effects--like constant fatigue and and a constant sore throat, aggravated by her asthma. The result of which is she can't sing--which is really frustrating to both of us.)

Her doctors say it could be either up to 3 months or up to 6 months before she sees any improvement--if she does at all.

And the kids she takes care of---which is the main thing keeping her going, I'm convinced--ask her to sing or tell stories using her various accents--including characters like a Scottish buffalo or an Irish manatee.   Which she loves to do but is finding it progressively more difficult.
