He is doing fine, seems to be sticking a little closer to his Mama.
When you're a nurse you get used to emergencies. I have called 911 a number of times while working at the doctor's office. And i stood next to a surgeon while he did surgery where i could see into the body cavity, the inside of the pelvis. Lots of blood leaking out.

I was at the Dermatologists office today with DH for his latest round of MOHS. The resident working with the surgeon was a male ICU nurse who was working towards his D.O. specialty in dermatology. We were yacking away about our careers and I got to watch them do the suturing on my husband's 2 inch wound. Afterwards I told the resident that one of the things that would have lured me away from nursing and into becoming a doctor was being able to suture people up. I'd always found it fascinating, especially while working OB as a scrub nurse all those years ago. He admitted that was one of the reasons he chose to specialize in dermatology. He considered plastic surgery but it would have take 7 more years of study. With Derm he could carve, whittle and stitch to his hearts content with only two more years of study ahead of him.

Medicine is a fun career. The human body a wonderous thing, isn't it Cap?

Afternoon everyone. DH came through his latest surgery fine. Lots of sutures and he is still blessedly numb at the moment so he's feeling no pain.

Hope everyone is having a great afternoon.

It shouldn't. That is why he prefers the MOHS treatment. They take out small amounts of tissue until they get tissue that is free of cancer cells. He's gone through 3+ rounds in the past before getting an all clear on the sample. It is more of an insurance policy towards the cancer not reappearing and conserving tissue while they are eliminating the cancer.

Floor in the office is clean ready for new floor.

I have enjoyed my medical career.

After 46 years of nursing it was time to retire and I retired my license as well.

I will always be thankful for all the types of nursing I was able to participate in.

Blessedly numb is a very good thing, wish a speedy recovery.

Have MOHS scheduled for next Tuesday just anterior to my right ear. My advice to the surgeon has always been take more - not less. I don't want to come back. My glory days (if they ever existed) are gone. I choose health over looks. Who knew all those hours in the sun would come back to haunt us?
