Yes the bumps on mom's head are sebaceous cysts of some sort--hereditary-- had 2 removed years ago and Sallie has them as did Sam. Although i think Sam took care of his own. But they can be a pain in the neck, or head in this case.
Talked to mom today --she was offended I asked who she was talking to too. She responded "Julie" and "I'm going to slap you the next time I see you". The she chortled. She was hanging out at the nurses station--didn't say anything about leaving as she does frequently--just happy to visit. I usually catch mom in that area--nursers said they have her sit out there quite often, which is good. She asked about Perry--and mentioned he is always so busy (didn't tell her what his project is presently).
Well Barb we are probably low on Vitamin D because as we slather ourselves with sunblock in those summer months which of course impedes the synthesis of  D. What to do?

these don't look like those cysts to me- they kinda look like fungal infections.

take 4000-5000 units a day of vitamin D-latest according to endo. actually in montana you can't get enough d from outside sun exposure from sept. to april because of the angle of the sun. he said the only person he has seen have a high enough level of vit. d naturally was someone who used a tanning bed.

If you are talking about those large bumps on here head --those are cysts. Mom had a couple of them removed several years ago but they can come back in the exact same place. You otta see how they look--encapsulated with grody, stinky oils but kind of cool.

Barb...good! Did I give you Sorli's name? Don't remember, but I've been going to him 3 years or so. Isn't he nice, normal and doesn't talk down to you?!

barb said...
