Getting up at 5:00 am is no longer fun!
We had to be in Long Beach for an 8:00 am appointment with the skin surgeon. Another outbreak of skin cancer requires it to be removed. At this rate, I may be down to 190 pounds in a few years!
We now know Dr. Glassberg on a first-name basis, his family, relatives, and his dog!
The procedure was pretty fast, and the result of the Mohrs procedure was positive; he got everything right on the first try!
I save the ouches until after he has put down the scapel!
After the surgery, we went to H&H Nursery and picked up a mess of plants to refresh our little garden. We can’t do anything today because the doctor has advised us to avoid lifting or using the arm for about three days. The cancer was located in a slow-healing spot.
We drove home, and Mary unloaded the car while I went inside and got two pieces of Tomato Pie for the Elks Lodge General Manager. Off to the Elks we went, zooming along in the Silver Fox.
Mary presented the boss with his tomato pie. He got two pieces, one to eat cold and one to try warmed up!.
We had lunch at the Elks. Mary did a cup of chili and a small house salad. I celebrated being under 195 pounds, so I had a hamburger WITH fries!!
Since we had 30 seconds to spare, we dashed out, jumped in the car, and headed for Mary’s painting class in Tustin. Today, she did lemons! She must have been thinking of me.
I was ready to squeeze them at first sight!
On the way home, I got to thinking about my real upcoming surgery and was worried that the doctors would do it right. Messing with the carotid artery is not the easiest thing to do.
After the anesthesia, I will be feeling really high!
We stayed home this evening and watched two movies before hitting the sack. Getting up at 5:00 am is a challenge! We were tired!
