Update on My Face

5 Days Post-Op

For the love of GOD people, wear sunscreen & get every inch of your body checked. People scream when they look at me, do you want that????

Stitches come out tomorrow. More to follow.

My 'OMG' Public Service Announcement

It is both safe and very fair of me to say that August has been the worst month in the creation of all months for me. I got into my nasty go-cart accident and then had to have surgery to remove the gorgeous skin cancer that has been brewing on my face for several years. What I thought would be a relatively easy procedure ended up being a NIGHTMARE. What I had was MOHS Surgery. It was a lengthy procedure which required 20 shots of local anesthetic in my face and lots of patience. The first two hours the cancer surgeon removed my tumor, and the last two and a half hours the plastic surgeon came in and repaired all the damage the cancer surgeon did.

IT.

WAS.

AWFULLLLLLL.

Please, PLEASE, if you see a spot that you question, go to the Dermatologist IMMEDIATELY. Wear sunscreen. SPF 50 and reapply it every 2 hours otherwise it's as if you're not wearing any protection at all. I waited years upon years to have my 'tumor' looked at. I thought it was a mole. At this time I would like to thank the handful of doctors in the past 8 years who looked at it and said "It's nothing." You can all go to hell, seriously. Because had I had this done years ago, I wouldn't have had to go through the nasty surgery.

Me, Post-Op. 30 stitches. Tremendous swelling, not to mention the amount of pain I endured. It felt like I was being stabbed by a scalding hot steak knife for several hours after the operation, and Vicodin didn't help even though I took quite a few of them. My liver is probably in distress because of the amount I took that day but I digress.....
Three Days after Surgery. The swelling has gone down considerably but I am still totally Les Mis (my saying for MISERABLE).

I will keep you posted! More photos to follow, to show you the progress my face is making. I look like the bride of Frankenstein, but I hope not forever.

WEAR SUNSCREEN!!!

I'm Back from my Back!

Apologies for my absence. I was on vacation several weeks ago and got into a nasty Go-Cart accident and have been recovering from a back injury sustained in said Go-Cart. It's embarassing that that is the vessel in which I hurt myself. I wish it could be a skydiving accident, or surfing, or something cool like that that has kept me away from my precious blog, however, it was a Go-Cart. And, tomorrow I go in for my skin cancer surgery so I will have lots of time to blog fun things, including my procedure, so you have that to look forward to YAYYYYY!!!! Now, onto my blog of the day:

TLC has had enough of Jon Gosselin's antics with the constant garbing of the Ed Harby T-shirts. Realizing that the Ed Hardy company is paying Jon to don the shirts on his show "Jon & Kate Plus 8" for free advertising, TLC had decided to blur the shirts out entirely.

It appears Kate's getting lots more TLC from TLC than Jon is.
