Mohs Surgery, Again

 I had a squamous cell carcinoma on my left cheek. The first excision was still positive on one edge, so the doc had to take a little more.

So, he took a little more and had it checked. It came back clear.

Then he stitched me up. I will go back in nine days to have the stitches out. In the mean time, I am alternating Advil and Tylenol.

Here I am all patched up and ready to go.

The Next Morning

I had a good night, but I woke up with some swelling around my left eye. That is to be expected. I am to leave the compression on for 24 hours, so I will change the dressing later this afternoon.

Later that afternoon... 

I washed the wound with soap and water. I covered it with petroleum jelly and dressed it with a non-stick pad and bandages.
