Jeff had Mohs surgery on basal cell on his nose today. 3 and a half hours. He's fine. The doc said "you look like someone beat you with a hammer, but we'll clean you up." Dime-sized hole with a graft. He had Mohs several years back on his inner eyelid part. Can't shower for two days. I suggested the ho's bath in the meantime.

You're such a giver.

Pragmatism and romance is my game.

Ouch! He let that go too long.

It actually popped up in the last maybe six monthsish? One of those things you overlook, wrongly, but eh. It is what it is. They got it. He's getting pre-squamous cell frozen off his bald spot later. I was worried about that but it's less a concern than the nose one.

Y'all will like this. It's amusing. Jeff is the coupon king, has done the grocery shopping forever, and knows everyone at all local stores. One of his buds is Amanda, a Kroger checkout manager or clerk or like that. She harasses him, he harasses her. She's also a dermatologist's nurse assistant. Before he made his appointment he went up to Kroger to have her look at these. She said, good news is one of these can kill ya one prolly won't. So when the doc asked how he came to set up the appointment Jeff responded, "I had the checkout lady at Kroger evaluate it..."

Anyway, both can kill ya, but she was pretty much spot on and advised no freezing on the nose, which they didn't.

Don't underestimate your grocers!

Your Kroger will be a really interesting place if the day comes that he gets a strange bump on his butt.

Don't underestimate the Cog...

I have to pick up some bread today. I might get them to check my prostate while I'm there.

My Mom had this terrific surgery by the guy who invented the technique, wherein they keep examining minute pieces of tissue until they're sure the area is cancer free. This is for cancerous spots on the face, where you don't want the usual "we're taking a wide margin so as to assure we got it all" method. Other places, you would go with that for skin cancer. Not on your face.

That's what he had-Mohs surgery. They had to take four slices during 3 1/2 hours.

Ask for the blue, um, plate, um, you know, special.

I suspected it might be the same technique because of the time element, but wasn't sure of the name.

Tell him my Mom's did not come back. Her site was barely visible, though, & required no grafts. That was one of those things where my sister, who was taking care of her. was "right on it". In a sad way, it helps when you are brain injured (in Mom's case, by strokes) to the point where you can't brush off those near & dear to you saying "you ought to have that checked out", because they just yank you over to the proper checker-outers.

Jeff had it done on his inner corner eyelid several years ago and that hasn't come back, so yay.

Eye stuff is cringeworthy. They don't knock you out either.

One thing we were told back in Ohio is "this guy invented the technique". Told it by many of Mom's friends who had had it done on them. They were WRONG, as Mohs himself died years before Mom's surgery (says Wikischmoozia; I generally will trust them on death dates, though not much else), & Perry Robbins, the guy who modified it somewhat, practised in New York, not Ohio. Oh well. Mom's surgeon was probably the local Mohs expert, & someone was exaggerating.
