Oh the wonderful skin I have!

Well here I sit in my hotel room, alone with my thoughts.. ACK! scary thought.

Over the years I have had nothing but trouble with my skin. I have the fair, red-headed girls skin! When I was 16 I had melanoma removed off of my back. It was cancer and they got all of it before I had to go through anything major (thank goodness). They say once you have skin cancer you are very likely to have it again. Especially when you have it as young as I did. From then on my mom sent me to so many doctors, we drove to Dallas every 6 months to get my skin checked. For many years I was really good about keeping up with the doctors appointments, I guess after a while I just put it in the back of my mind and went on with my life. I had kids and just stopped staying on top of my own "issues". So..... I have this lovely mole on my leg that has been very scary for me for a couple of weeks. I have watched it grow and change colors pretty much overnight. I finally went to Mike and told him how much I am freaking out about this. I couldn't tell my mom so I just told Mike and Jules(she held my hand with the last one). They both made me call and make an appointment to get this mole checked. I tried my best to get in right away, they can't get me in until the first of June. So here this mole is on my leg that I am scared to death of, and I can't find out either way for another month. I just have this awful feeling about it, I am the one that caught my last mole-- I know what to look for. In all of my years I have had about 30 freckles, moles removed from my body, 8 of them came back as pre-cancer!! So I ask you all to keep me in your thoughts as I struggle with this awful skin that I have and please pray that my precious girls are spared from this skin problem!

Thank-you Fryar and Jules for letting me be me and for listening to my fears and reassuring me that I am okay! I love you both!
