She was also kind, loving, and willing to help anyone in need. In addition, she grew up during the Great Depression, and like most people who lived during that challenging time, she couldn’t stand to see anything go to waste. She lived alone, and one Monday evening I decided to take my family to visit her. When we arrived, she was busily pulling weeds in her garden. When she saw us, she smiled and wiped the sweat from her face. “Well, I’ll be,” she said. “I just knew someone would come, so I made extra food. Come in and have something to eat.” I laughed. Aunt Bea always made extra food. I had never been to her house and not had her want to feed me. She loved to cook, and everything she made was incredibly good. “We’re okay, Aunt Bea,” I said. “We just had dinner.” “I’m sure you can at least eat a bite of cake,” she replied. “I have some that is a couple of days old, and I don’t want it to go to waste.” I knew that we weren’t going to get away without having some, so I said, “How about we give you a hand with your garden first?” She nodded. “That would be nice.” We helped weed her garden, and when we finished, we all went into the house and had some wonderful chocolate cake and some cold milk. We also enjoyed a great visit. As we were leaving, she wrapped up the last of the cake and handed it to me. “I don’t want to throw this out. You take this with you so it all gets used up.” I thanked her, we all hugged her, and then we headed on our way. Only a couple of weeks later, I learned that Aunt Bea had fallen and was in the hospital. As I was trying to find out what had happened and what hospital she was in, I learned that one of my paramedic friends had responded to the call. “Can you tell me what happened?” I asked him. “As far as we could tell,” David replied, “she was out working in her garden when she tripped over a garden hose, fell, and broke her hip. That was at about eight o’clock at night. No one was around to help her, so she scooted along on the ground all the way to the house. It took her until one o’ clock in the morning to get into the kitchen, where she pulled the phone down off of the counter and dialed 9-1-1.” “That must have been horribly painful for her,” I said. “That is true,” David replied. “But you won’t believe what she did when we came. While we were trying to prepare her so we could lift her onto the stretcher, she asked us if she would be in the hospital for a long time. When we told her that it looked as though her hip was broken and that she would likely have an extended stay there, she insisted that we needed to slow down. We paused, knowing she was in a lot of pain, thinking she wanted us to be more careful so she wouldn’t hurt as much.” “That’s understandable,” I said. “But that’s not what she wanted at all,” David replied. “She said she had a nice lasagna in the fridge and some cake on the counter. She wanted us to stop and eat them. When we insisted that we needed to get her to the hospital, she said, ‘It’s really good lasagna. And the chocolate cake is nice and fresh.’” “So did you have some?” I asked. David laughed. “Are you kidding? She refused to let us take her until we finally agreed to at least take the cake with us so it wouldn’t go to waste.” Sunscreen…Don’t Leave Home Without It By Kelly Evans-Hullinger, M.D. It’s the dead of winter, and who among us isn’t craving the feeling of warm sunshine on our skin? I, for one, am dreaming of summer days spent outdoors, not a care in the world, basking in that delicious ultraviolet light. But alas, I must be my own physician buzzkill (maybe in this case, sun-kill), and remind myself that there is more to those rays than the pure delight I am romanticizing. The truth is, there is technically no “safe” amount of UV exposure when it comes to our skin and the risk of skin cancer. One in five of us will have a skin cancer diagnosed in our lifetimes, and while many types of skin cancer are not life-threatening, some are. Melanoma, in particular, is a skin cancer with great potential to metastasize and ultimately take lives. Like other skin cancers, ultraviolet exposure is a major risk factor for melanoma. I can recall one summer day when I was 13, I fell asleep on a July day watching a cousin’s baseball game. My fair-skinned back was exposed to the sun, unprotected, leaving me horrendously sunburned in the days that followed. I will never forget those next few days, one of which I spent carrying my golf bag on a hot, humid tournament day, my back covered in blisters. The thought of it now is enough to make me cringe. And let’s not forget it doesn’t have to be a hot summer day to incur skin damage. Many of us have been surprised with a sunburn sustained while skiing or ice fishing – sun is sun, whether the temperature is hot or cold – and even on a cloudy day those UV rays make it down to Earth. And don’t get me (or your friendly dermatologist) started on the risks posed by tanning beds. Protecting one’s skin from the sun is something we can all do to stay healthier. There are a variety of ways to do this: Avoiding sun entirely or staying in the shade, wearing protective clothing like long sleeves, pants, and a wide brimmed hat, physical sunscreen like zinc oxide, or chemical sunscreen – the experts recommend at least SPF 30 applied every 2 hours. I still love summer. I love being outside for hours, sweating in the sun. But these days you’ll find me with SPF 50 applied before I leave the house and carried along at all times for reapplication.
