Spot Seen

Dick has a Spot. Dick has had a Spot for a long time.
In the spring on an unusually sunny warm day Dick
burnt Spot while sitting on the deck.



Spot appeared to go crazy and got bigger and looked weird. Dick went to see his friendly GP. The GP said "Just to be safe Dick, I think I'll send you to a specialist."

Months go by and Spot has gotten better. Whenever Dick goes out in the sunshine, he puts on a little SPF sun screen.

Finally Dick goes to the specialist. Dick showers, puts on a clean shirt, fresh socks and heads into town to see the Skin Doctor. Dick forgot something, can you guess what he forgot?

Dick gets called into the exam room. The New Skin Doctor with special magnifying glasses looks at Spot. "Hmmmm" He says, "Take off your shirt Dick." Dick complies. Then the New Skin Doctor says, "Drop your pants Dick and turn a round."

Dick hadn't listened to his Ol' Mom. Dick had forgotten to change his jeans and underwear. Dick felt like a Dick. Dick was very embarrassed.

Dick wanted to cry all the way home. When he got there Dick checked his underwear. Dick said, "Thank God no skid marks, I'll never do that again."

Dick is going out tomorrow to buy fresh underwear, t'shirt, jeans and a shirt for his Eye Doctor Appointment Friday. Dick isn't going to take anymore chances. Especially if he has to go to a Proctologist, he may even floss. Oh and Spot is okay, he needs to have a biopsy just to be safe. Dick will wear his new clothes on November 9th.

Dicks' Ol' Mom used to give him the same look as the Danish Princess in the photograph and say "Change your underwear before you go out, you'll thank me if you get hit a by a bus.......it could happen!"

September Update

After a serious prodding by daughter Janna, I have decided to write a little update.






Generally I am in good health and have had a pretty darn good summer.

This is the time of the year of course is when the doctors line up to poke and prod me, adjust medications and join the throng to pester me about my carefree life style.

My heart is still pounding away, my drugs are still messing with my digestive tract and I still get tired. I have cut down my naps quite a bit lately and only have one when I have done something stupid after the Danish Princess has gone to town. Things like cleaning the moss off the roof, tearing the bunkhouse apart and rebuilding the beds so it now sleeps three. Minor stuff that used to take half the time.

My schedule this month is today go to the Vet with Molly because her right leg is buggered up. Then on Saturday, Marc is coming over to watch the dogs overnight while the DP and I drive to Courtenay for a sleep over at Terry and Carole's place. Monday I am off to a skin specialist to have him look at the blotch on my cheek, because it looked weird back in April. On the 17th, I am off to an Eye Specialist to determine whether I will end up painting like Monet or Van Gogh. There will also be a visit near the end of the month to see my favourite GP.

Steady as she goes until November and I have my Electronic Tune-Up. If anything exciting or crazy comes up I will gladly share it with you all in great detail.
