I thought I sent this message earlier this week but I think it is
somewhere in cyberspace. Considering my temp. was 101 at the time I'm
not sure where I sent it. One of our moms is having laser removal of
a tattoo on her ankle. The doctor told her she shouldn't BF for 24
hours after the treatment. When she asked why he said because it is
just like other x-rays ?!?!?!? We suggested she postpone the
procedure until she weans in a few months but she wants it done now.
This doesn't make sense to any of us but we don't have any references
to confirm or deny. Any information out there?
