*UPDATE* I was being over melodramatic this morning… I went under the knife, but it was to excise 3 small squamous cell cancer nodes, two from my left arm and one on my right arm. The two on my left arm were about a 1/2 inch in diameter and 3/4 inch in depth and the right was about a 1/4 in in diameter and depth. So, technically I was under the knife and didn’t mean to upset a few of you. Bear Claw called me just as I got out of the dermatologist office worried sick I was having major surgery. If that was the case I would have mentioned it on the blog to let y’all know I was going to be out of it for awhile. I have to worry about these CA nodes as I am from Northern European descent and we Swedes and Irishmen don’t see a lot of sun and with me in the outdoors all the time, well, it was bound to happen.
You going under the knife? What’s the deal?
Yeah. Spill.
And best wishes.
Never mind the reason – I hope the surgeon corrects what needs correcting and leaves the rest of you alone. You get some rest.
I don’t think a lobotomy would help.
It really wouldn’t…
I think we can safely assume he didn’t fall, and accidentally land his ass on a flashlight.
Hope all goes well.
I can save you money, got a razor sharp pocket knife.
Prayers…and heal up, dammit.
Thank you, but I don’t dammit at all…
Think positive and do what you’re told!
Why?
The change might do you good!
Praying for your speedy recovery.
Thank you Sandy.
My last dermatologist visit, the very sweet Asian lady doctor looked at my back and said, hmmm, that one looks a little funny, might need to remove it. So of course I start thinking surgery, scheduling another appointment, that sort of thing. While those thoughts are running thru my head, behind my back she picks up a little squirt bottle of liquid N2, puts a few drops of the mole, and then scoops it off with a sharpened spoon thing. Like in 5 seconds. Done! she announces, then charges me several hundred dollars. Whatever, she’s good and my wife likes her.
Stay healthy and out of hospitals people.
My brother a couple weeks ago – broken pelvis 7 day stay and surgery, half a million bucks, helicopter ride $71,000.00. It’s bullshit but the medical lobby and obummer care gave us that
