Full day out with medical visits

November 30th, 2006 at 09:36 am

This morning I had appointment with skin specialist. For my skin tone and hair coloring with freckles I should be a candidate for skin cancer. I just don’t tan, I just go red then blister and go back to white again. Luckily, I did get badly burnt as a child that would not go out in the sun again when it’s hot. I was a very stubborn child where getting burnt was concern. This has saved me from having any skin cancer, just may be. I only had a new sore on my hand which was zapped by the skin specialist just in case. I am to go back in 4 years if I am not worried by any charges in my skin. Our state has the one of worse rates of skin cancer in the world. So that little visit cost $110.00 and refund $64.30. But a lot of peace of mind here.

Less than hour later, I had a appointment in the same street with optician for new glasses. I have a new one pair of glasses each year, as this is part of medical fund rebates, use it or lose it policy. So each 12 months, I can get a new pair of glasses and have my eyes tested. As I have four pairs of glasses which I use over the year. Sunglasses clear street glasses, computer glasses and old pair of clear glasses that I use around the house. I am getting computer glasses this time, as the charge in my eye test was there and I am mixing up them with my clear street glasses when driving too! They have a similar frame. Costing $265 all up, rebate $245, I will be out of pocket $20.00.

I went looking for some more hair dye at the same store that I bought the last lot at. $23.98 cost saving $36.00. I bought a few groceries items saving $3.60 and a DVD movie pack for $4.99 saving $10.00.

    I'm exactly the same way when it comes to sunburns. Unfortunately, I've had lots of them. A few have been so bad that I've blistered. I avoid being out in the sun now as much as possible.

    I am just the opposite; I tan easily. But I have still had suspicious moles removed. It's best to be careful where skin cancer is concerned.

    I have been rather fortunate, even though my hair is naturally a deep auburn red, I don't have freckles (except a few on my nose) and am not quite as prone to sunburn as most redheads who do have freckles, though I do have to watch it because I'll still burn faster than most people. I use a lot of sunblock and wear hats a lot.
