Life Stories and Beyond

What I thought was an annoying little crusty thing that kept reappearing on my nose, turned out to be a whole lot more than a tiny aggravation. Fortunately, I have a great dermatologist who biopsied the little thing.  It was a squamous cell carcinoma that had to be removed pronto. Today I had Mohs surgery to remove my little annoyance. With that type of surgery there is less scarring and you know right away if they got it all. Thanks to lidocaine and a talented surgeon, my left nostril now sports a sunroof. It is still asleep, but once it wakes up, I’m sure I will breathe more easily. I am mouth breathing at the moment. I’m so thankful that I could take care of this while it was a teeny tiny thing. Don’t ignore things that grow on you. Especially if you were a youthful sun- worshiper like I was. We get old and we start growing things. Don’t just assume that they’re supposed to be there.
