APRIL Timely Topics-sunshine, spring, special days

In the northern half of the earth, it’s finally spring all month long. Warmer, longer days are pleasant but can bring new health challenges and opportunities.

I hope you can take advantage of the warmth to be outdoors doing fun and healthy activities-walking, biking, swimming, gardening, and playing with kids. I’ll share some posts to help you do those activities safely.

Faith, hope, and love

Christians often observe Easter in April, depending on when it falls on the calendar.

April timely topics include

• sunburn, insect bites, and blisters
• health issues that occur in the spring and summer
• water safety

April 19-remembering Oklahoma City

On April 19, 1995, a domestic terrorist left a bomb in a truck in front of the federal building in Oklahoma City, Oklahoma; I had lived there for 7 years while in medical school and residency. 168 people died, including 19 children. Until 9/11/2001, it was the largest loss of life due to terrorism on U.S. soil.

The incident was shocking and traumatic to our entire country but especially here in our state. Oklahoma is usually a peaceful place; we deal with tornadoes and floods but not bombings. So every year we remember the victims, their families, and especially those who rescued the wounded, and the survivors who rebuilt their lives.
