So I have this skin cancer on my forehead that needed to be surgically removed and I thought "hey I might as well get this taken care of before my Other Big surgery next week.." Well I was not expecting this. I had it done on my Birthday Thursday the 8th and it was no fun people. Note to self...never schedule a surgery on your Birthday just because you have the day off. Needless to say, it is done, they got all the cancer but I am left with this huge Frankenstein of a scar on my forehead. I am so sad right now, when I took the bandage off I just cried and cried. I know eventually it will fade and there is good makeup out there that can cover it up but right now it really sucks big green weenies!!! At least it has taken my mind off of being on day 11 of my liquid diet. I must be a glutten for punishment. The bandage I have to wear just brings huge attention and everyones asking 'What happened?' I have thought of some doosies to say like "I was table dancing and...." or " i was in this really bad accident and my face went through glass" but instead I have to explain well I used to use baby oil for tanning as a teenager....Anyhoo's I have included a photo hopefully you are NOT disgusted by gross wounds.
Good luck with your band this week... I will be right behind ya :)
ReplyDeletewow, if you can make it through that, the upcoming surgery will be easy as pie!!!
ReplyDelete(((huggggssss))) to you - band surgery is going to be a piece of cake....
ReplyDeleteWe all have to live and learn, I guess. You were young, everyone does crazy things when they're young. I didn't used to wear sunscreen. Most of the time, I still don't. (Oops.)
ReplyDeleteYour banding surgery will be a breeze! If you can get through surgery on your skull, you'll be golden.
And it doesn't look too bad. I'd go with the funny table dance story. :)
Hi Kelli! I saw you were a new follower of mine and wanted to stop by and say hello. So sorry for your scar, but you got rid of the skin cancer and that is so very important. I look forward to getting to know you.
ReplyDeleteI hope that all goes well with your banding this week. Will be thinking of you. I also wanted to say that I am sure it will heal really well. You will be surprised!
ReplyDeleteHi Kelli! Cat sent me over...I'm sure your scar will heal well but in the meantime I would go with the table dancer story...LOL.
ReplyDeleteGood luck with your band surgery and I look forward to following your journey.
Oh Kelli, I am so sorry that you had to go through this!! I totally understand. I have had to have 2 spots removed from my nose so far, and who knows after I go back to the Dermatologist in Nov???
ReplyDeleteI too used Baby Oil a few times, and I NEVER wore sunscreen! My Mom was just told that she has Melanoma on/in the Skull...
So at least they found your early, and got rid of it early!! And yes, the scar will diminish in time...
I will be thinking of you on Thursday, post when you can to let us know that you are out of Surgery and all went well!
Hugs!
Hey there! I am a new follower :) Sorry about the forehead! I am with you though - I would knock it all out at once! I am also a gluten for punishment. The scar will heal!! Vitamin E oil in a roll on! I had my foot screwed back together a few years ago and that definitely helped the scaring - much better than even mederma (sp??)
ReplyDeleteI am also in AZ (goodyear) so please let me know if you need anything post-surgery! Good luck!! HUGS!!!
Follow me back if you like :)
