Don't forgo the sunscreen!
If the sun is shining you’ll probably find me outside during the summer months. Because it’s gotten increasingly difficult to apply sunscreen myself I typically have my PCA’s do it while they’re here. Of course I didn’t do it the other day because it was supposed to be cool and cloudy, but ended up sunny and gorgeous. Luckily my daily moisturizer that I put on my face has SPF included. My neck and chest didn’t fare so well. A blistering sunburn was the result. Don’t forgo the sunscreen! Lesson learned, at least till next year. Do you guys have a favorite sunscreen or method of application that makes it easier?

I’m definitely more apt to getting sunburn, and I often forget to put on sunscreen. Thanks for the reminder! I’ll definitely need it in a few weeks when I go to Dallas for the SMA conference.
I usually just have my parents put sunscreen on for me. The big areas I need to cover are my arms and face; and while I’m not the most outdoor-sy person I do go on walks with my dog and to events downtown during the summer. I forget what type of sunscreen I use, but it definitely works.
Also this is a good segway to talk about things to do over the summer for people with SMA. I’ll do a separate post about that.
