It basically took 20 minutes - including taking off my clothes and putting on disposable undies (!!) - and she only took maybe 15 pictures, and she was standing about 6 - 8 feet away from me. So much for my vision of high-tech up close, high-res, multi-skin layer photos. I should have done this at home with my hubby and spared me the gross experience of wearing disposable underwear (however, they were thong, so there's something to be thankful for; I can't stand granny panties!)
Anyway, I'm still waiting for the December 3rd and December 8th appointments unless someone cancels (anyone out there, please?) and I get in. In the meantime, I'm taking a few days off work to think and take care of me, as tomorrow it's been one week since I found out about BCC, and to tell you the truth I still know nothing. But on a happy note, I had a friend visit, she's an almost-homeless lady that I've known for years, and she looked me in the eye today (and truly I can see Jesus in her) and said something really profound which really made me feel gratitude and the true purpose of this life. The sad part is that I can't remember a single word she said! Needless to say, she was right, regardless of how she said it, "We should be grateful for what we have, and for what we don't have. Life is life, but there's better to come." Amen!
You are the best!

ReplyDeleteHi KT -
ReplyDeleteI just read your entire blog and sorry to hear about what you are going through. I had BCC in 2005 on my nose and they took a good chunk out but did 'reconstructive surgery' so I didn't look like I had half of a nose. I know what you mean about having to be your own advocate in our health system.
I went to a clinic at Womens College (don't remember the drs name) and they were wonderful.
Thinking of you and sending prayers and hugs your way. If you want to chat at all about my experiene with BCC, call me anytime.
