1 down, 2 to go.....
02/08/18 at 16:15:47

Just got my first patch of skin cancer removed, pretty cool.
They slice away based on the biopsy, then read that chunk under a scope while you wait.
Takes 30 minutes plus.
Came back saying a little bit more needed to be removed, as some cancer was still be read.
Sliced some more, back to lab, came back cancer free, stitched me up...
About 2 hours total, as I just slept between each procedure in warm blankets....dang that felt good.

Its sore, and swelling, got ice on the general area.
They said it will bruise overnight, black-eye, etc...

But other than that, not too bad at all.

The next one, in a couple weeks, will be a little more intense, because of location, then the reconstructive surgery the next day.
I met that doctor this more, she is absolutely beautiful, she specializes in optometry repair.
Good, I want my eyes intact, so I can keep staring at her Grin

Thanks for the well wishes and prayers!

So you got a hottie cutting pieces out of your body and you just lay there ando lust ?
And you need to go back ?
I had a plastic surgeon some years back cut out some skin cancer the same way as yours, but he wasn't a hottie. He was a little short guy, he was Vietnamese, he and his mom were some of the boat people who fled Vietnam to keep from being executed, he loves the US and he absolutely loves veterans. He told me that over and over.
He told jokes the whole time, and was a lot of fun to talk with.

A lot of my friends at work came from this part of Asia.
The stories they share about what their lives were like is just beyond my ability to comprehend.
However, to see their love of life, and their thankfulness, for America is as plain as the "cancer" on my nose! Grin

My birthday was last month, a bunch of then took me out to lunch, to a Vietnamese restaurant, its the first time I ever ate Pho.....

I loved it!

I hope I never get too old to learn about other folk, its the best education I think I can ever get!

Not yet, she will do the repair, skin grafting, after the next chunk on my nose/eye gets removed, later this month.

Procedure wise, its not much difference that having some intense dental work done, but the bruising and swelling is a lot more.
It looks worse than what it really is.
