Dr. Huey Surgery - Happy Ending
Comments (3)Looks great! I have often had to use a saw on large suckers - I just cut them by sawing so that there is nothing left of them where they are growing out of the root. Scraping is a good idea, too. Dr. Huey is so aggressive in our climate that it is the main reason I refuse to plant anything except own root roses - life is too short to be constantly having to monitor the roses for evil shoots!

Comments (8)Karen, wishing you a speedy recovery!! You naughty girl!! You should have shared this with us and let us send you our T & P's in addition to sending you our support. PM, T & P's coming your way as well!! I'm seconding OA's idea for a booboo free May!! Mainly because last Sunday my 4 yr old DGS and I had a bad fall when the tension broke on the zip line at my brothers place and we hit the ground pretty hard. Nothing broken, but he was on my lap and his head hit my jaw, knocking my jaw slightly out of alignment. My dentist said it will probably move back when the swelling goes down, but in the meantime, taking ibuprofen for pain in my neck and jaw. Actually, my jaw is already better today, thank goodness!! I think my zip line days are over! Cody is fine, although he had a "head hurt" for a while. So.....definitely rooting for a merry month of May!! Take care everybody! Candy...See MoreEye lid surgery
Comments (55)Hello neetsiepie Yes, I've seen "It's Complicated," and the scene with the plastic surgeon discussing cutting into the hairline and using staples is a dramatized depiction of a facelift, not typical for eyelid surgery (blepharoplasty). For blepharoplasty, the procedure involves removing excess skin, muscle, and sometimes fat from the eyelids, with sutures used to close the incisions placed in natural creases to minimize visible scarring. Many people report positive outcomes, such as improved vision and reduced discomfort. Recovery involves some swelling and bruising for the first week or two, with most patients returning to normal activities within 2 weeks. Following your surgeon's aftercare instructions is crucial for the best results and minimizing complications....See Moreskin cancer treatment alternatives
Comments (18)Laura, I believe for you you're MOHs experience did cause PTSD. For me, my MOHs experiences have contributed to piece of mind and a good night's sleep. 30 years ago I had a BCC on my face removed in the doctor's office; cut and scraped, without any margin tissue sent off for biopsy to determine if there were clear edges. It left a medium sized hole in my face that always prompted the question "What happened?" when meeting someone for the first time afterwards. A year later I noticed a spot on the tip of my nose. Not wanting to risk the same disfigurement on my nose I contacted a plastic surgeon that had removed a BCC near the eye/tear duct a few years before. In planning the procedure he mentioned that the surgery was simple and was there anything else I wanted taken care of. I asked him to fix the scar from the other BCC. Day comes, I have the removal and reconstructive surgeries and everything looks great. Then, a week later, I get a call at home. It's my PS. He says a biopsy of the scar he'd fixed from the BCC removal the year before came back and there was cancer everywhere on the edges. A week later I go back in to have it taken care of. The cancer was deep. He said he almost had to cut entirely through my skin layers to remove it. My lip was pulled up into a prominent Elvis type sneer. I've had three additional surgeries to correct the disfigurement. The dermatologist from the other BCC called later to see how things are going. I thought at the time that he was wanting to touch base to see if I was going to initiate a lawsuit against him. (I didn't.) To shorten a long story, all cancers I've had since are removed through MOHs. I see a dermatologist every three months. Tidbit - 15 years ago I participated in one of the clinical trials for Aldara. I was in the group that got the Aldara. I knew because my forehead looked like I'd taken a bad fall on concrete while skateboarding....See More- 5 years ago
