Hang in there man. Post up when you can...
Told ya so Ed. I'm headed in for Cataract surgery on the 16th and I am told that is a piece of cake as well. Hope "they" are correct.Personally, I'd much rather they cut on my neck than my eye.PIECE OF FREAKING CAKE.
Coincidentally, we both went to the eye doc for exams the other day and my eyesight continues to haveTold ya so Ed. I'm headed in for Cataract surgery on the 16th and I am told that is a piece of cake as well. Hope "they" are correct.Personally, I'd much rather they cut on my neck than my eye.
Consider those scars as battle ribbons.
Good to hear Ed. Yes the smell of them cauterizing the skin is not good. I had some moles removed. Freeze them with liquid nitrogen, slice them off with a razor blade, and cauterize the area. A band aid and turn me loose.Well, I survived....
I love it when a procedure is referred to as a "scrape and burn" - it's VERY appropriate.
I was awake the whole time as they doped me up and had at it in two places...
side of neck (opposite side from the massive procedure some years back) and on top of
my left shoulder.
I was texting whoever asked that "the hacking has commenced"....they actually were
hacking bits of me off.
They'd dig in, then sear the dang thing with heat. The smell was....well....
All with me awake and getting yanked all over the place.
Kinda freaky when you think of it - but compared to my previous surgeries and all that?
PIECE OF FREAKING CAKE.
#5 and #6 are now just some seriously sore additional future scars, with only a follow-up
in six months to see how I'm doing.
Only possible long-term issue is if they didn't get it all - in which case, off to the hospital
we go yet again.
No worries. The collection is now 6, along with the 3 "official" flatlines.
THANK YOU so much for your thoughts and prayers, everyone!!!
Oh man, there's no WAY I'm posting pics of this nastyness....
Just kidding Ed!
My dad was an MD and would come home from medical mission trips with slide shows of what they dealt with in the jungle & other remote areas.
I seem to remember him being eager to show us so we saw a lot of 'stuff' before dinner on occassion.
GLAD you are recoving well![]()
