2026 March 5 Mohs Surgery

 

Inquiring minds want to know. So today was just a casual day of spa treatment, if your spa specializes in Mohs surgery on your shin! I told the doctor, "While you're in there, could you also fix a few wrinkles and maybe tighten a knee?"  Apparently, that's not included int he package😂and neither is the complimentary leg/foot message!  But seriously, I was in very good hands and grateful for a skilled surgeon who knew how to take care of business. He got that little booger (SQUAMOUS CELL CARCINOMA_, and margins cleared on his first attempt! Now, to keep my leg elevated for a few days until I get to the wound center. If you see me limping around a little, just know it's my new excuse for extra sympathy, snacks, and absolutely no housework for a few days. 

 March 27th.........There is a BIG difference between "waiting" and "quietly waiting" with a peaceful heart, and let me tell you, I have not always been nailing the "peaceful" part! Being sidelined from just about everything I love doing since March 5th (Honestly, since Nov 19th with that fractured wrist.... that's 129 days, but who's counting?) has given me plenty of "practice." And by "practice," I mean opportunities to sigh dramatically and check the calendar again. 

Let's be real.  WAITING is hard. Sometimes it feels like the hardest work we do, especially when it involves sitting still with your leg propped up. This whole "cooped up and elevated" situation has my patience under construction! 

So, for today, I'm choosing to lean into the "quietly waiting" with a little more grace and maybe a little less dramatic sighing. For today, I'm finding peace right here!
