Frugal Corner - After Surgery

**Kilted-Marine** · 11th July 07, 11:10 AM

So Surgery went well today and the doctor is sure that all the skin cancer is gone (Basal Cell). I was in the Medical Center from 8:30 to about 11:20. I have 35 stitches below my right shoulder blade and they removed a fair amount of flesh. They had to cut more to allow for a straight line for stitches. Doctor said it may feel like my waist is being pulled up to my shoulder...lol

right now local is still working so no pain but i am now getting ready to pop off to bed and get some rest.

I want to thank all those folks that wished me well and offered their prayers...

Oh did I mention I talked to the doctor about kilts......lol

Whoa, I missed you having the cancer Mark. I'm glad to hear that it's gone. I hope you recover from your surgery quickly.

Best wishes to you. I hope you have made your next 3 dermatologist appointments. Keep them. Being a redhead, I need to do the same.
