Well got to sleep early the night I got back from my trip. I had to be up early fri to be at the dermatologest by 0700. At 0730 they had me ready for the doctors. I had a spot on my forhead that tested positive for basil cell cancer. They numbed the area and started cutting. Didn't feel a thing. The nurses gave me warmed blankets to help me relax while they tested what they removed, they had to cut out a little more. They showed me the hole in my forehead and said they had to close it up now. They discussed making the stitches go up and down or sideways. they went up and down, so now have a 2 1/2 " scar that if my eyebrow doesn't go back to normal i will look angry on my left side.
Its a few days later and doing good. The area is numb and might be that way for up to a year according to the Drs.. Feeling some tingling so that makes me feel better that I'm feeling the healing happening. I did have a very colorful eye for the past week, which got me a few looks and a couple commits like, 'are you OK' and 'did I need any help'. It was very nice to know that if I'd needed it they would do what they could to help me. I was trying to come up with a good story for the shinner but nothing came to mind. I'm sure once I'm back to a normal color i'll think of a good story then.
Been watching the olympics alot. Watched curling for the first time and its almost like bowling but only one place to put your rock for points. Alot of sking which was wonderful, there is so many different events that it was so much fun watching even if the americans were in the top 10. It would be interesting to know all the events of the winter olympics, I'll have to look that up. The racing on the rink was amazing and hard to emagine how they stay goin around so fast without falling. The hocky game was amazing, I stayed up to watch it and was jumping up and down and yelling as well. Luckely no one could hear me.
Getting alot rain, rain, rain as well this last week. Hopefully today I will get some stuff done that I have been putting off for awhile. One of the things is to put some pict of my Spain trip to go with the blog. Hopefully I'll get it figured out, wish me luck. By the way thanks for reading my blog nonsense to the few that know I have a blog. haha

Well I hope that you are progressing nicely with your eyebrow, oh my. I told you Bob just had one removed from right across from his eye on his cheek. Keep me updated on the outcome etc.!! I had one of my hips injected & I asked the Dr. when he was going to do the next one, & he kind of looked at me & chuckled. They are both bone on bone so if I have pain I will do something otherwise I will keep on plugging away. I just had both knees injected with some asteoarthritus med. & I just found out that my knees will be stiff, I mean real stiff for awhile. Oh well, it might help in the long run. I bet you were trying to thing of a story about your shinner, I can just hear the wheels turning & hear the honery laugh of yours, haha. I enjoy your blog. Love Jessie
Will you have to have some kind of follow-up treatment? I added you to my prayers. I enjoy your blog. I am awaiting the trip pictures!!!!
I've already typed this twice... first time I forgot my password; second time the cat stepped on the delete key.
Anyway - guess it's been awhile since I checked your blog! Wow - you've been on some adventures, haven't you!! I'm praying for rapid healing. Don't worry if it leaves a scar; that will just add more character to your character!
Glad you made it back safely from Spain. Would love to go there someday and take the boys - we have an exchange student at school from there, and would love to visit him in the future. The boys speak Spanish - might be a good thing to have them along!
The snow is gradually going away - above freezing temps (okay, so it's only 34, but it helps!) and now some rain will continue to melt it. Hopefully, it won't all be in my basement!
Take care - miss you! Love, Steph
