Will be a bit distracted today
Off to a two hour doc's appointment. A bald 7/8s caucasian was not designed for the Sonoran Desert, and so they have to attack diffuse solar kerotoses on my top-knot with something that I gather isn't chemo, but is somewhat like it. Cover your scalp with a chemical that is taken up more rapidly by the abnormal cells, then expose scalp to bright light, which activates the chemical and kills them. (It also leaves you very photosensitive for days). Probably not the most fun thing I'll do this week.
UPDATE: got back. OUCH! You aren't kidding that smarts! Rather like having someone give you a bad sunburn, in 20 minutes.

I hope they told you that while under the bright light you will have an extreme burning sensation. BTDT.
...Sounds to me like you are being turned into a photovoltaic cell. Hopefully, life will be a little brighter on the other side. But if this site goes deep green and all you can think about is the environment.....
Best wishes to you, David. Take it easy, and take care yourself first thing.
I do hope you're correct - if this is the most fun thing you do this week it'll be a pretty bad week.
I forgot to mention:
If you get near a TV screen or computer screen while they are on, you WILL get a burning sensation. Along with the sun even coming thru the windshield while driving. This will last for at least for a week.
My TV did it at 10 feet away.
I guess that sitting close to the TV really will ruin your eyes....
As a white-boy-at-the-beach, I have to apply a similar cream (Carac) twice a day for three weeks every five years or so. By the time the third week rolls around, my scalp is usually feeling pretty scuffed up.
I'll check out the new stuff, though. Sounds interesting.
Good luck to ya, and don't forget your hat!
