Post Surgery

[curmugeon]

I went in today for Mohs surgery on my sarcoma that was in my ear. The office visit went well, a good surgeon, a lot of cutting, and right now it is hurting. So another night of little sleep. Now to do a little bit of web surfing, then an attempt to sleep. Stitches come out in 9 days.

I hope your recovery is smooth.

I'm hoping too. At least there is no more cancer.

I have Mohs surgery on my forehead on the 18th. I'm hoping it's not too painful.

Good healing to you.

On the forehead should not be too bad. They definitely tpook a chunk of ear so they had to close the gap by stitching it back together. It took quite a few stitches. It also depends on how deep a cut and if they have to cauterize a lot. You don't feel much during the procedure and a couple of ibuprofen minimized the pain. Best of luck.
