Well, I finally broke down and joined Facebook today - because I need one more thing to keep track of. But, I have to say that it was cool to see some of the "friends" it found for me. It'll be nice to keep up w/ some people I haven't talked to in awhile. And... while I didn't add him as a "friend" I thought it was funny that it suggested I add Joel Baker to my "friends". He & I went to KINDERGARTEN together! And, all through high school actually. Our mom's were friends & thought he & should be, at least, friends. But, he pulled my hair & picked on me, so it never really worked out. LOL
I do have some new pics, but haven't gotten them to the online computer yet so can't upload them. Because the WIFI won't be set up until spring, I have to download to my laptop, save to a flash drive then upload to the work pc so I can upload to my page... what a pain. Even worse since it's an older pc so the USB port is in the back & I hvae to pull out the CPU and unplug the printer USB so I can plug in the flash drive. Ugh.
Warmer today - it was only minus 8 degrees when we got up today. And, it warmed up to 15 and we even got some snow which we really need. Jeff & Ben are out playing hockey w/ the owner. They said it's plenty warm! Jeff said he's getting a little concerned about his mental state when he went outside this a.m., and 5 degrees felt warm.
Speaking of Jeff & cold.. anyone have any suggestions why his back might itch so crazily? I bought a really good lotion that he puts on every night but it isn't helping. And, we've tried Calamine. He's going a little crazy fighting it.
Well, not much else going on at the moment. Staying busy w/ "work" getting ready to send out the "Spring Letter"... we only have to mail 3000 of them (Yes, 3,000 - that wasn't a typo). So.. back to it. More later.

Cold weather plus hot showers will dry out your skin faster than anything. Also If he isn't drinking as much water as he should be or peeing more than usual, dehydration also makes your skin very itchy. My legs itch like crazy, and I was told by my doctor that my diet causes diuresis and so I am slightly dehydrated and that will cause the itching. She told me to also not take hot showers or very long showers as that will make it worse
ReplyDeleteIt would seem like a good lotion would help if it was just dry skin? But, instead it actually makes it worse. The only thing that has given him relief so far is an aloe w/ lidocaine gel that I had.
