Seriously...
This blog is my way of coming to terms with my own issues with depression. If you are experiencing signs of depression or are thinking of hurting yourself, PLEASE seek professional help. You can talk to someone at 1-800-273-TALK (8255) or 1-800-784-2433. There is a TTY line at 1-800-799-4TTY (4889) for the Deaf and hard-of-hearing.

The MOHS nose
Here I am, after years of protecting my fair skin, facing MOHS treatment. For those blessedly unfamiliar, this is a procedure in which layer after layer is removed until no cancer is found. Now, true, the cure rate is somewhere between 97 and 99 percent. Yay. But I also don't know how much of my nose they will take. One layer? Two? Ten? Even the woman who called me today said "We don't know how you will be closed up." In other words, it depends on how far down they go. The word "graft" was interjected in there somewhere. WTF? Why bother.
