'Twas the Day After
'Twas the day after my skin cancer surgery, and this is how my wound looked. Luckily, only one layer had to be removed to be cancer free upon microscopic inspection. Still, I was there 4 hours - most of that waiting for the tissue sample to freeze. Recheck every three months, but cure rate is 97%. However, now that I've had one basal cell carcinoma, my risk of getting another somewhere else is 40% greater.
"I'm going to put the incision in one of your existing lines (wrinkles), so it won't be too noticeable." Well, that's kind. As long as my smile can still circumnavigate my head while i'm skiing, who cares?
