So, as most of you know, my quick in and out dermotology appointment last week turned out to be a full blown face trauma, including plastic surgery and a very long week.
The funny part was going to the temple the night afterwards and having my temple president take one look at me and say "skin cancer?".
Got the stitches out on Tuesday and despite the plastic surgeons request that I not put make up on the scars for at least two more weeks(GET SERIOUS!), I look somewhat better with cover girl and some lipstick (despite the bump on my lip . . . ).
Have decided to make the dermatologist hunt me down for a follow up visit, otherwise she gets to see me annually like my GYN doc.
May actually start marketing t-shirts that say "Doctors make me sick!"!! :-D
It is melting here this week (temps to reach 100 before week's end . . .), but love the warmth and the sun (and no, the sun did not cause the face damage ... heritage and fair skin did it all!).
Goal still remains to get my back deck done and enjoy it more this summer. Wish me luck!

You know....genetics and fair skin CONTRIBUTED to your scars, but basking in the sun for 30 years at the rate you USED to do it at would have ALSO contributed. I googled it. So now I know everything about skin cancers! And I say USED to bask in the sun because I'm hoping you really don't believe that you know more then practiced doctors...? Its like I tell my kids - THERE IS a reason that I tell you to do something or NOT do something -its not just for me to talk! There is a REASON that the dr. tells you NOT to put make up on scars!!! LOVE YOU!!!
