This is a very well penned insight into what is going on with you my friend. I am sorry you have those skin cancers to deal with. You used very good words and pictures. May God bless you and your wife! Teri

    Thanks Sis for coming by. I needed something to get rid of that old writer's block. Hence what might end up being another book, hehe. Lord Bless.

A very well-written story about your medical problems. It seems like quite big and deep crater that first one caused. The other one looks nasty and very sore.

    Yeah the new one seems to have split op0en now according to Louise we may need to stop the vicious cream for now. Thanks again dear friend.

Rather gruesome-looking pictures. Sounds like the cream, even though expensive, would be better than surgery. Hope it works. You must be like where we are in my town of Terre Haute, IN. It is hard to find a home-grown specialist. We have many from Pakistan and India, etc. I wish some of our youth would take up medicine rather than basketball, as they seem inclined to do. This is quite readable, and easy to follow. Good luck with your treatment. judi

    Thanks Sis appreciate you coming by. A few of you suggested just writing about anything to get around the "Block" hence what might be another book, hehe.

    You're welcome. I remember a composition textbook that suggested to write "I'm stuck" over and over until an Idea occurs. I'm glad I don't have to resort to that. judi

I feel with writer's block will end in it's own time. I usually sit at the computer and simply write words and soon the words turn into something. Maybe not be any good but it produces something.

I have had several skin cancer surgeries and so far I am completely clean. I am SO careful when I go outside and use level 50 sunscreen and a big hat. Sounds like you've been through a lot. I hope the cream works. Keep us posted.

Can't think why I ever thought of that, myself...I think you mean never thought of that....
It turned out to be just s benign... change the s to a....

Oh heck, Sankey, those pictures don't look good. They were really hard on the eyes.

Appreciate how you wrote this:

In the pictures, you can see the results of the first op. It got named initially a volcano. Following this, it became a moon crater and finally the "Glenbrook Jelly Bean Pool." I have been there, many years ago. It is located in our lower Blue Mountains only half an hour from the operation location and about an hour from our place in the East of the City of Penrith.

The only form of cancer I have had to put up with to date is skin cancer. This is very well written with a smooth flow of words, making for a very good read. There is good imagery.

Thanks for sharing another cure for writer's block and skin cancers simultaneously. My husband beat the Big C, over sixty years ago when he had a male mastectomy to remove one breast and its lymph nodes. He has gotten a clean bill of health every year since. I hope the expensive cream works as effectively for you. Best wishes with your book with the intriguing title as well. Cheers- Joan
