mohs and more

My doctor's office phoned with the results of the two skin biopsies yesterday and yes, both will need surgery, mohs for the basal cell and excision for the severely atypical mole. Thankfully, I get almost a month's reprieve with an appointment for the mohs on Feb.19th and the other a week later.

As far as the weather, we in Florida are freezing, too, mid-twenties predicted for tomorrow morning. Mopsy doesn't even go to the porch door in the morning anymore...it is so cold outside. She just has her breakfast then runs to the computer room to huddle by the little electric heater whether it is turned on or not. She's so funny. I worry she may burn her ears because she sits so close but no amount of reprimands can make her move .

Some of my answers surprised me almost a year later, and some were very telling, if you know what I mean. Here are a few if you would like to try completing them.

I still want to learn to

I have many many more and will add a few in each blog for a while.

until next time...c
