there's a lesson for me in this. don't take good things, people or dogs or your skin, for granted. people and dogs and my skin have been good to me. please take care of yourself and others. we went to the minute clinic and saw nurse germaine and she was so friendly and caring. i got an rx cream and a good overall report of health, so i'm no longer in panic mode. my feet are itching and i think that's the healing feeling. i don't know if i'm ready for lulu, but i'm going to try.
