All I can say is that it's a good thing I just love my surgeon for tomorrow. He's the same doctor that operated on my legs. His work at the Wound Center makes him eligible for doing my surgery for the basal cell carcinoma on my left upper chest. He noticed it twice before while doing some surgery on my legs and that is why he finally did the biopsy on it. I was going to go to the Beast's dermatologist since that was the type of doctor I had to see in order for him to find out if it was a skin cancer. I had no idea that my favorite doctor would be taking care of it for me.
I've already taken care of the skin care stuff they want you to do prior to surgery. I have one more time I have to do it....in the morning before I go to the hospital. That's at 9am and the Beast will drive me there. I am charging up my cell phone so I can call him when I am ready to be picked up, although I think the nurses will do it if I give them his number.
I will admit that I am getting a bit nervous about it all. I trust my doctor but....a skin cancer is always a worry. Plus I guess I am afraid the incision and subsequent amount of flesh that is going to be removed will be much larger than I would like it to end up. Oh well~ what will be, will be.
The Beast took pictures of the kids today but it was really windy. The day was absolutely wonderful. The temperature hit 73! He took some pictures of them at one of the parks near Lake Guntersville but then ended up taking some more here, out front, with them sitting on a blanket. I gather he and they liked several of those so he was busy printing up pictures after we ate dinner. He made baby back ribs again and we had some Texas toast with cheese topping along with them. I have to tell you, I do NOT like the Texas toast with cheese. Give me the plain old garlic Texas toast every time. Even the Beast agreed. He just wanted to try it and see if it would be a nice change of pace from time-to-time.
Like I said, the day turned out just fantastic. Warm but windy but Chewlee was happy, happy, happy. She recited a litany of why she was a lucky girl which included the people that loved her, her friends, her toys and electronics....even her baby brother! That made me laugh but she turned to me and said, *I'm not really sure about the baby brother but I will wait and see.*
I'm tired so I think I will go to bed early tonight since I can't eat or drink anything after midnight. Love you all. Be safe. Take care. ***Hugs***
The Texas Toast with cheese on top is a good snack, but for eating with dinner I prefer the plain.
