After our exhausting Wednesday we had to be up at 5:30 Thursday morning. I needed to be at the dermatologist at 7:30 for my Mohs procedure.
It went quite well. He got all the skin cancer on the first try which made me happy. The worst part of the whole procedure was when they put the numbing solution in. It really burns. But once you’re numb, you are really numb. So the only thing I could feel was some pressure when the doctor pushed down on my forehead.However, they forgot to tell me they gave me a black eye.
Paul was having his motorcycle serviced and after lunch he came over to the house and we visited until his bike was ready.
Tonight my head hurts and I’m really tired. I’m going to wait until tomorrow to post this. And I’m way behind on reading blogs. Hope everything is good in your world.
At least they got it all. I know what you mean about the pressure - I could always feel the pressure when having cataracts removed. It hurt, and hurt for a while afterward.
ReplyDeleteSo now Jim can be nursemaid. Glad it's over for you.
ReplyDeleteOuch!
ReplyDeleteI'm so glad the procedure went well, and I have to say you look really, really pretty. I think that black eye and forehead patch look great on you. :) Get some rest and feel better soon.
ReplyDeleteWonderful news about getting all the cancer on the first try.
ReplyDeleteI can't believe you could go out for lunch after that procedure. You are one tuff lady!
Hope you heal up quickly
ReplyDeleteBless your heart, so sorry you had to go thru that! But glad it is behind you! Hope you will feel good by Xmas. I'll bet Jim is going to get a lot of teasing about the black eye! Check out the snow on Mt. Lemmon on my blog. Snow! We made a wrong turn somewhere!
ReplyDeleteI bet now the neighbors are looking at Jim kind'a funny...
ReplyDeleteGlad that's over.... now you can really enjoy the holidays!
ReplyDeleteOh no! I definitely agree. Now it's Jim's turn to take care of you and you better get pampered!
ReplyDeleteOoh, too bad about the black eye. Hope you are feeling better soon, its best to get as much sleep and rest as you can after a procedure like this.
ReplyDeleteHope you get well soon. We hope to see you and Jim in Q.
ReplyDeleteNice shiner
ReplyDeleteGood land, I thought you were in a fight until I read the story that accompanies the blog.... Glad it all went well and hopefully that shiner won't last too long.....
ReplyDeleteOuch, glad they got it all and hope the healing process is fast!
ReplyDeleteGlad they were able to get it all on the first try!
ReplyDeleteHope you are feeling better.
ReplyDeleteHope your eye/forehead is all better soon & you are feeling MUCH better!!
ReplyDeleteI wish you a speedy recovery!
ReplyDeleteGood to hear they got all the cancer on the first round. Now you can concentrate on your travels to Yuma & Q. Hope you heal quickly! Becki
ReplyDeleteOh My ! You two sure have been busy with medical stuff. Hope it's all over soon !!
ReplyDeleteGood grief! Opening your blog, the first thing I see is you with a bandage and a black eye! My heart gave a few big thumps! Glad it was not an accident and thrilled that all the skin cancer is gone.
ReplyDeleteBless your heart... Hope you sleep well tonight --and will feel and look better tomorrow... Are you sure your hubby didn't punch you in the eye???? ha ha ha
ReplyDeleteMerry Christmas.
Hugs,
Betsy
wishing you a very speedy recovery!!
ReplyDeleteSo good to hear that the procedure was a success. Now just rest and enjoy being pampered. You deserve it.
ReplyDeleteIt seems as if there is nothing that stops you from always writing a great post.
Take Care,
Sharon
Looks like you went a couple rounds with a kangaroo. hope you are feeling better soon. Sam & Donna.
ReplyDeleteGlad it was a success - I visit the dermatologist every six months for removal of pre-cancers.
ReplyDeleteWow...what a pretty black eye for Christmas. Glad they got all the skin cancer though.
ReplyDeleteGlad they got it all on one try, Nat has had to have many slices on some of his MOHS before they got it all--he too has had a black eye. Hope you feel better soon!
ReplyDeleteIf it takes more than one try here, they supply lunch for you. You'll be amazed how quickly it will heal. See you Monday.
ReplyDeleteGet well soon and hope all goes well.
ReplyDeleteHope you heal fast. Merry Christmas.
ReplyDeleteSure looks sore but a very necessary procedure. Hope you heal up soon.
ReplyDeleteI've been down that route also with MOHS and don't look forward to it again. At least you headed off a much worse situation and you should be up and running in a day or so. Take good care of yourself.
ReplyDeleteglad they got it all. When I first went on blood thinners Riggs was a pup and would jump on me a cause a bruise. I told Sam you'd better be nice to me or I'll call the cops, wont say a word just stand there and you know they arent going to think the dog bruised me that way...So Jim better be nice to her :-)
ReplyDeleteAh.....visits to "the doctor shop" I know that well. Glad everything turned out o.k. with your Mohs. Hope you and Bob have a wonderful holiday in spite of all the aches and pains that go with being "more mature" as my sweet hubby says.

Glad they got all the cancer. That can be scary.
ReplyDeleteOMG, I thought you were in a traffic accident! Good you got it taken care of. Now you just need some red eye shadow on the other eye and you'll be all ready for Christmas.
ReplyDeleteGlad to hear they got it all but they sure did give you a shiner. Hope you and Jim are both all recovered from your medical procedures by now.
ReplyDeleteOUCH!! Glad they got it all
ReplyDeleteFirst of all, lots of hugs. I may sound a little overwhelming but you did go through a lot. Give your self a lot of praise. You deserve it. I am happy that they took care of it. I wish that I was there for you.
ReplyDeleteOnce my kids got to be on their own, I feel that I need to do for people in general, what ever I can specially for people going through pain and problems. Please take care of yourself. We can all wait for your visit at our blogs. Once you are all better we can read what you have to say.
I hope that you are able to celebrate pain free. Merry Christmas. and Happy Holidays. Hope fully I will visit again before the New Year.
Good lord, again! as I said, I'm reading backwards ... and well, OUCH! glad they got it and it's over ... nasty stuff... dang
