Happy St. Patrick's Day

 Madi was all about pawticipation aka a real part-ee Gal

Here is her first ever  St. Patrick's Day post with a limerick.



Many years ago I enjoyed cross stitching.  Below is one of my pieces
The Irish Blessing Hangs above the guest bed 
Sent to you from Me



May the road rise up to meet you.
May the wind be always at your back.
May the sun shine warm upon your face;
the rains fall soft upon your fields 
and until we meet again, 
may God hold you in the palm of His hand.

Another favorite

UPDATE on Thursday's MOHs procedure

We arrived at Cary Skin Clinic at 7:00am yesterday.  They took
us back (Bryan stayed to watch..well he stayed in the room) he 
was behind Dr. Ingraffea.  So he couldn't see much. 
Dr. Ingraffea said he thought he would get it with one layer.  
He removed the first layer at 8 am took it to lab.  
9 am me came back told me it was clear.
No stitches.  Area is about the size of a nickle.  
I don't have to return for post op.  He did tell me 
to keep a close eye on my body and if I had a concern
and could not see my dermatologist to call his office 
the would work me in quickly.  Squamous is a result 
of past sun damage catching with us as we age.  
Glad to know I am in with a good practice...cause I have 
some other places.  Dr. Ingraffea even sang the first two
lines of Cecilia the song by Simon and Garfunkle to
me.  We both liked him a lot.  Please if you have doubts about
places on your body...check them out!!!

BIG FRIDAY Thank you to Dr. Adam Ingraffea, Leena his PA and 
the entire team at Cary Skin Clinic!!!! AND A BIGGER THANK
YOU TO Bryan for his excellent driving skills in the wee dark
hours of the morning as he drove us to Cary

Thankful Thursday for excellent medical personnel

 Thankful Thursday hosted by 

  

Today I'm thankful my (long) 6 week wait is over.

Early January I noticed a wee red bump on my right leg near my knee.  I am thankful my dermatologist was very proactive.  She did a biopsy. Results came back a squamous cell skin cancer. I just had my annual exam by her in October. It was not there.  Today at 7:15 am I'm have MOHs surgery at Cary Skin Clinic.   The area is still quite small (about the size of the end of my index finger) so my hope is the procedure won't take the entire 4 hours of my appointment. I will have a post up on Feline and Nature Friday, March 15 and I hope to give you an update.

My amateur advice is to quickly act on any odd or unusual bump on your body. I have never had any form of skin cancer.  

If you aren't familiar with MOHs, here is a short  description. 

Mohs surgery is a method for treating skin cancer lesions. During this procedure, the surgeon removes thin layers of skin one layer at a time and examines each layer under a microscope to determine if any cancer remains. This procedure continues until only cancer-free tissue remains.
