Had Surgury yesturday
 

I haven't been on too much lately. Had alot going on with the doctors in the past week or soo. Alot of tests.
I had skin cancer on my face (between the bottom of the nostral and the upper lip). It was removed yesturday. I turned out to be 3 times the size they were expecting. Had to remove a piece that was almost the size of a half dollar, and a half inch deep. The plastic surgon had to do a skin graft with skin from the back of my ear. And he tells me it will take 3 more grafts to totally fill the hole.
I'm not a happy camper at the moment. Alot of pain and swelling, and I won't be able to go to work to at least wednesday.
So while I was laying in bed, Kate and I did some figuring about the Superfest head count.
Turns out...WE HAVE TOO MANY PEOPLE FOR THE ROOM. So I called the Bulldog, explained the situation, and got the fireplace room which handles up to 35 people !!! Cooool

Rick -

I've never met you and don't own a Superboat ( love 'em anyway ) but wish you luck !

I've had two serious skin melanoma surgeries in the last three years with some pretty nasty scars...on my back and foot.

It wasn't fun, but time will certainly help...the up side is, it was caught before it could cause any more significant damage and that's good news for any of us that continue to go through this crap !!

Be well dude ! :)

Thanks everyone,
Up for awhile, thanks to 3 Vicodin's :) . Feelin alittle better. Now let me call Coen and tell him I won't be in for a few days. This should be fun. Nothing like hearing him ***** at 8:00am in the morning.

Re: Had Surgury yesturday
 

Rick, good to see you posting, be careful with those Vicodin's, they will make ya feel good way after the pain is gone. :D Look what happened to Dr. House.

Hope you recover well Rick. I'll need you around in the event I'm able to buy A Y2K in the future!

Glad to hear they got it. Do what the doctor says. No sense in rushing back to work for a coiple of extra days when it could affect your health for life!

Went to the Dr. today to have the packing bandage replaced on my lip. It's sewn to my face to hold the skin graft on with pressure, thus eliminating stitches. He said the graft is taking great. I think it looks like Frankinstein. Still need another graft to build up the thickness in the lip.
Doctors orders- "If you worked in an office, I would'nt have a problem with you going to work. But you don't, you can't exert yourself in any way, or you'll compromise the graft. Take the rest of the week off and keep off your feet, and keep your head back". Well, so be it !!
I went in for a few minutes yesturday, and when I got home my head was throbbing. I think I'll listen to the doctor.
