Getting old(er)

Today I found myself buying organic prune juice at my local health food shops. Prune juice? Several hours later I still don't get why I bought it. (It was on sale - which is probably the biggest reason it's sitting in my fridge) Apparently I turned 75 overnight and am now concerned with the regularities of my bowels.

Speaking of health - I noticed a small bump on the side of my face. In the exact same area of my last skin cancer. I'm a little worried, however I'm giving myself a week to see what it does (hoping it's just a zit) before I make a call to my doctor. The first time I went in with a suspicious spot, she told me that it "probably wasn't skin cancer but we'll biopsy it just in case". Results came back within the week that it WAS cancer. Since then she's been great about doing a biopsy on anything I want. Mole on my back - Let's cut it out! Spot on my arm - let's cut it out!

This time around I have better insurance (lower deductible) plus an individual supplemental cancer policy that will cover additional costs that my insurance does not. Hooray for all that, boo to the skin cancer.
