Post Halloween….

On the Mend

Well the first step is complete…..the doctor felt she got it all. The margins came back clean. I had to redo the area behind my ear twice but it’s all good. I do resemble Frankenstein. When I give out candy tonight, I may scare a few….=) I’m home now….going to rest up and take my…
