I had the much dreaded surgery today, an excision of a squamous cell lesion on my forehead. The procedure took a little less than two hours, no pain, my anxiety calming as the surgery went on, just a local anesthetic, eight sutures, into the Seventh Street Campus of Trinity Hospital, Moline at 7:30am, and out at 9:55am. Follow-up is a visit to the doctor's office to have the sutures removed on Sept 3.
Post-affect: just a little tired, relieved that it's over--on with the "vacation". Maybe I'll paint some more tomorrow--painting again is a highlight of the two weeks off from work, a good thing! Jim is off tomorrow and maybe we can drive to Iowa to look for some Damar varnish on that side of the River.
