[QUOTE="Scent of Cedar *, post: 644605, member: 17461"] That is what I will do next time. This surgery while a person is awake thing is too scary. They cover everything ~ including a person's face ~ leaving only the surgical site exposed. I mean, I know they do that to help concentrate the surgeon's attention, but still. It was like, the second they put that covering over my face [I]I could not stop talking. [/I] Plus, I was lying on my stomach [I]which meant I could see the surgical instruments tray.[/I] One of the instruments looked like a miniature turkey carving device. (This happened right after Thanksgiving, remember.) I assumed they would be doing the cutting with that, and spent most of my time trying to keep an eye on it from under the corner of my head covering. After surviving the surgery, I asked about the implement. Turned out it was a lavage device. It had nothing at all to do with cutting persons open. It had to do with sucking their blood out of the way. Yep. Definitely laser for me next time. **** I smoke. I never even thought of that. I am fine now, I think. I will need to see a derma every three months for one year. No chemo, no radiation. The pathology report indicates they got it all the first time. How kind of you both to ask about me. :O) Cedar [/QUOTE]
