Breakfast, 830am treatment #1 in Dead Sea followed by sunshine for an hour, then retreated to the room, lunch at 12.30, a snooze in the afternoon, treatment #2 in DS at 330pm followed by kids club (run for me). 6pm another appointment with the Professor - eczema assessment, shower, dinner, BBQ, dancing with the Professor followed by a partial eclipse of the big old moon. Just another day at the office.
I have learned a bit today... that Darcy has a spot of vitiligo on her toes which I have not previously noticed... Matthew have you? On her right little toe and the ring-finger toe next door to it. Hardly noticeable. The Prof assures me it has always been there and I just have not noticed it. Can any parent know every inch of their children's anatomy? Anyway a bit mixed up over that one as Vit on the hands and feet is a real pisser. A bugger to re-pigment. Other bits are easier re-pigment, but hands-and-feet-Vit is stubborn as. With a bit of luck it will not spread.
I have also learned "Acknowledge, Reassure and Distract" The trick that those gifted folk with Vitiligo use to counter those awkward social situations.
I have a skin condition called Vitiligo.
It does not hurt and is not contagious.
How 'bout those Waratah's?
Sounds good to me. There is a scottish lass here that is a child psychologist working with the Prof. She also does kids club and various other tasks (aqua-aerobics) the Prof has quite the entourage. Anyway she is going work with the kids to up-skill them in dealing with teasing etc as it may present itself.
Finally, I have learned that Euro is king in the Middle East. BTW, I have zero Euro. Following that, the Aussie dollar is very foreign. In fact, one receives looks of horror as I flash our ground breaking post-modern plastic flouro money. I think they think I am playing jokes. Watch this space how I try and deal with one....
