Surgery day has come...

Well it has been a long time coming but tomorrow July 10Th is surgery day for my husband Chris. For a long time his nose had this little scab on it that just WOULD not go away... months and months go by and I am telling him it is cancer and it needs to be looked at by a doctor. I know I am not a nurse but I do work in a hospital and have for 6 years but I'm an idiot and know nothing... right? Wrong! He finally had it looked at after his mother got on him about it... and big surprise the results came back CANCER!!! Ha, I told him that! Anyways it is the best cancer to have ( basel cell carcinoma) if you are going to have it. I know, no cancer is good! Needless to say our doctor who I hand picked from working in the OR now that I have LOTS of connections said it probably developed when he was a teenager and is now coming around. If any of you know Chris he is Mr. White guy and wears a ton of sunblock all the time.

Anyways he will be going under right about 1pm on Thursday and they will be taking a skin graft from behind his left ear to place on the left side of his nose. Honestly, I am worried how it will look and so is Chris. He is even a little nervous... I think he is more upset about the fact that he can not play golf or swim with Cooper and I for a few weeks than the fact that his nose is getting hacked up! Hopefully they can clear all the margins on his nose and we won't have to keep digging deeper. I'll let you all know how it turns out later next week. Keep good thoughts please!

On a good note: Cooper and I are going up to see my very long time friend Cedar Skinner up in Snowflake this weekend to give Chris some quite time in front of his new flat screen to relax and not do anything that can harm the graft.
