MOHS ON MY NOSE

 


Double dipping with MOHS surgery today; for basil cell carcinomas.   (I hope I have this right.  I think that untreated  basil cells cancers can develop into the more dangerous squamous cell one, but I may have this the wrong way round).

The nose job was straightforward.

Not so for the surgery just above my left eye brow. It  needed two cuts. ''Twas all very ;painless, but as you can see I am already developing a shiner. 

The bandages/plasters which covers post procedure bleeding has to stay in place for 24 hours.  Onw reaches to my eye lid.  So for the while I have very limited sight from my left eye.

This too shall pass before my final cataract surgery evaluation on May 19th.

Oh how I am grateful for the Medicare plus insurance I have via the Church Pension Fund.  I pay each month for a Church  subsidised premium plan.  

 My co-pay today was  $10,    Who should be so lucky?

  80 years equals family Fifty plus of us. My five remaining sibs and their spouses. Nieces, nephews, great nieces and nephews.

This 80-year-old child wore a birthday coronet and insisted on having his face painted. A marvelous family reunion; and the greatest celebration of my four score years.

I knew that.  Then the light dawned.  Up until that moment I had thought that it was Tuesday, not Monday. You'd think that calendars had not been invented! It got worse. I took Cooper for an early pee walk this afternoon.  He lifted his leg to cue. Then he took a strong and mad dash towards a Squirrel.  I fell down.  And great was my fall. Lots of scrapes.  No bones broken. Pictures not in order. Excuse duplicates. No sympathy please - I was foolish. Fortunately, I had an arm bandage to sop up the blood. It looks worse than it is. BUT  1.  I was foolish in two ways. First, I had taken Cooper on a short leash.  I'd have had more control with the double handled long leash. 2. When he made his mad dash, I should have dropped ...
