MOM'S SURGERY

Yesterday we went to the dermatoligist so Mom could have a basil cell tumor removed from her back. It didn't seem to be very large to us. She had a 3 o'clock appointment. They finally took her into a back room about 4:30. She was back there for an hour and fifteen minutes. They removed the tumor and it took 37 stitches to close the cut they made. They just gave her a local anesthesia and she said it hurt very much. She now has a 8 inch bandage on her back and is taking antibiotic and pain killing pills. She has to limit her activities for a few days and has to go back to the doctor next Wednesday. She cannot take a shower until Saturday. She is feeling pretty good right now except for being tired from the medication.
