They told me it would eventually get me, and it did. One of the problems with the drugs I take for BellyBean, is that they greatly increase the risk of skin cancer. When they told me this, I nodded politely and said to myself "I never leave the house, and when I do, I apply 100spf on my face and 80spf everyplace else", but despite these precautions, as well as full body skin checks at the dermatologist's office twice a year, I just had an excision of skin cancer from my forearm.
I'm fine. A bit shaky and dizzy, but that very well could be from my vat of cold brew I slurped down before heading out.
Twelve days of wound care, and then I'll get the stitches out.
In other news...I have a finish for you of Teresa Kogut's Patriotic Tweet:
Now if you'll excuse me, I think it's time for a couple of Tylenol and a nap.
What's new with you?
Yikes — one thing after another . . . Will this keep you from sploshing in the pool after it heals? Should you get one of those long-sleeved swimsuits?
ReplyDeleteI am at a rented cottage on a beautiful lake — on the days I had things to do in the area, the weather was great for swimming. On the days I have been at the cottage all day, it has rained. Today, just as I finished my lunch by the lake and was going to change into a swimsuit, the thunder started. Rain off and on with lightning all afternoon. So I am stitching while listening to an audiobook called The Summer Cottage, by Viola Shipman, about a cottage on Lake Michigan — where I know you have visited.
Well, you always do things in a big way... get well, Coni. Like Rosanna Rosannadanna used to say, "it's always something!" -psv
ReplyDeleteGlad to hear you're being pro-active, sounds it could have been much worse if you didn't do the skin checks twice a year. Prayers continue.
