Mohs Surgery

10-9-2024 

I spent a good part of this week hooking up hoses and vacuum lines.  When I quit I was finished with this area except of wanting to reroute the throttle cable.

I had Mohs surgery scheduled for 8:15 this morning so we were up at 5:30 AM to head for Portland.  By the time they were all done we had been there for six hours.  The good news was they got all of the Basal cell cancer on the first try.

The bad news is that I have to wear this for 72 hours before we can change it.  The nurse that deadened it was the best I have ever had,  Normally there is lots of a burning sensation but I never had any of that this time.  I never even felt the first poke.  I did feel the one the doctor did part way through the surgery.  I was talking with the nurse about the traffic to get there and she mentioned having to deal with it also, plus she got stopped this morning but only got a warning ticket.

There is a Harbor Freight about two blocks from Kaiser.  I had Vera run in get a couple of things I needed.  If you look close you can see her waiting in line.

This is the first Harbor Freight I have ever been at that had an armed guard and bars on the windows.  The area does not look that bad.

We stopped and picked up dinner at Pacific Northwest Best Fish.  The trip home was much better than the trip down which was rain most of the way. 

I tried pulling this band off and couldn't so I ended up cutting it with scissors.  It looks like I will be sleeping in my recliner tonight since the doctor said to have my nose higher than my heart for a few days.
