I promised my wife that after we got settled into our downsized place at the beach which is now our permanent home, I would take care of my medical issues. So I’ve got my hip replacement scheduled at the end of the summer and have an appointment to see a surgeon for my hernia. I went to a dermatologist to look at a crusty thing on my back. She wasn’t impressed and focused instead on a pigmented area on my neck. Shave biopsy: melanoma. Not invasive, but I’ll need an excision. Aargh!
@TheresaVermont Thanks, Theresa.
@johnldeboer SO glad you caught this in time, John.
@EliasJMcClellan Thanks, Elias. Wasn’t expecting that on top of everything else. As my mother used to say, “Getting old is not for wimps.”
@johnldeboer That stinks but nice catch. 3 MD's in one summer should get you a t-shirt, at the least.
@johnldeboer Good catch! Good to stay on top of all of it.
