Moh Bettah

A short post today (you’re welcome) because I spent some early morning hours under the surgeon’s knife as they continue their effort to make my face look truly tragic. I had my third bout with Mohs Surgery this morning as they carved out a thankfully small spot of basal cancer cells just under my jawline. For the first time they caught it all on the first cut and didn’t require subsequent delving. I’ve got to wear this bulky bandage for the next couple days and made the mistake of letting my Favorite Panamanian back into the room to hear what my restrictions are for the next couple weeks. She is nothing if not vigilant.

My Chick Magnets look for the Next Couple Days

This was the first of the medical hoops I have to jump through over the next couple weeks and I’m happy to have it behind me and that it was so small. We got it over so fast I was able to get to the office before lunch time. I’m going to have to come up with a really good story to explain all these facial scars and I’m thinking about claiming a former life as a knife fighter would be a good start. I’m just glad it’s over, for now.

Thank God it Was a Small Spot!
