squamous cell carcinoma

woah good thing they stitched it up! can't imagine how interesting blowing your nose would be

Hard to believe, but they actually gave me the option to stitch it up or not. The doctor said it'll eventually "fill in" even if they don't stitch it. Ended up going for the stitches as it should heal a lot faster that way.

WTF fill in? Good call on the stitches and hope it heals up quickly.

Sure will help me remember to apply and reapply sunscreen.

Here's my Halloween costume.

Now you need some water therapy to get your mind off it .

The worst part of the whole thing is that the doctor said no strenuous activity for a week, so I'm going to be bored out of my gourd for a while.

Not bad at all. Just looks like a long dried booger.     BOO !            Glad you got it looked at and are on the mend. Apply lots of vitamin E for the scarring . Or is that a myth ?

Easy, you can re-org your fishing chart, re-file by month and conditions, then create plan of action for opening day.  Or you can start shopping online for Christmas!  Earn spouse point toward season opening 

That looks much better!
Ouch!

Glad it went well, note to self....more sunscreen and HooRag

Next on the list is the hoo-rag. Have always tried to wear long sleeve shirts as well and hats with extra section that covers the back of my neck.

Protect yourself. This kinda stuff comes back to haunt us later.

That stitched up well.  I had my doubts after I saw the first photo but damn if that didn't close right up.

Now as long as you don't have any violent sneezes or go 2 knuckles deep on a mining project your good to go.

Congrats on getting it taken care of early and kicking it's ass.
