Todays the day

I see the dermatologist today. I can't help it. I am nervous. 90% of me knows I will be fine but its that nagging 10% of me that got me out of bed before 6 am. I am anxious to find out what he says so I can move forward, but afraid also of what he might say. Isn't that weird. But I mostly just want to know for sure. My worries are always worse then the reality.

I took my dressing off yesterday. It was driving me absolutely nuts. My palm and thumb from the cast was numb and I had gotten it damp so it irritated me. so it had gotten loose enough I just slipped my hand out.

What a ugly swollen mess it is, LOL. The incision on my wrist looks more painful then it is but guess what? I am typing with both hands. For the first time in over a month. Maybe my typing will improve and it is certainly faster then it was. My palm is still numb but hopefully that will get better when the swelling goes downs. I took some pictures but decided they were too graphic to post. This from the woman who posted her gallbladder pictures, LOL.

The dressing wasn't suppose to come off until tomorrow at my PT appointment but the instructions said it could come off in 5 days so 5 days was yesterday. I will call my therapist and let her know. And I will take a full shower today which will be heavenly. That alone will make me feel great.

Well, enough of this, I will write later after I see the doc at one and update any news. Hopefully great news. I don't know if he will cut out the rest of the cancer today plus a couple of other spots that are concerning or another day. So maybe I will have that terrible nerve pain back and won't feel up to typing. We shall see. If the scar will be large I have to get hold of my insurance and see if they cover a plastic surgeon. They may say it is cosmetic and refuse to pay. We shall see.
