"THE NOSE" JOB

NO, MIKE DID NOT HAVE HIS NOSE SHORTENED OR TUCKED IN (AT LEAST NOT FOR LOOKS).  MIKE HAS SKIN CANCER ON BOTH SIDES OF HIS NOSE FROM BEING OUT SIDE IN THE SUN SO MUCH, AND FOR NOT USING THE SUN BLOCK FONDA, AND I HAVE BOUGHT HIM (NUMBEROUS TIMES!!).  HE SIMPLY FORGETS (OF COURSE HE DOES-HE HAS ALZHEIMER'S!!!).  SADLY, HE HAS ALREADY HAD CANCER SURGERY ON HIS EAR, AND NOW HE WILL HAVE TWO ON HIS NOSE.  TODAY I GET TO TAKE THE BANDAGE OFF AND AM PRAYING IT WON'T LOOK TOO BAD.  HE WILL NO DOUBT WANT TO SEE IT FOR HIMSELF BEFORE I CAN SLIP ANOTHER BANDAGE ON.  MY SISTER VICKIE DROVE US TO THE SURGERY CENTER AS I DO NOT DRIVE THAT FAR ANY LONGER.  MIKE WAS BRAVE, ONLY THING HE COMPLAINED ABOUT WAS WHEN WE WERE GOING TO GET OUT OF THERE AND GO BACK HOME.  THEY HAD TO TAKE HIM BACK INTO SURGERY THREE TIMES, AS THEY ONLY REMOVE A SMALL AMOUNT OF SKIN EACH TIME THEN SEND IT TO THEIR IN HOUSE LAB TO SEE IF THEY GOT IT ALL. IF NOT, THEY BRING HIM BACK INTO THE SURGERY ROOM AND REMOVE A LITTLE MORE. I HAD GIVEN MIKE TWO NERVE PILLS (AS PER THE DOCTORS SUGGESTION), AND I THINK THEY REALLY HELPED TO KEEP HIM CALM. WELL, NOW ONE IS DOWN, AND ONE MORE TO GO NEXT MONTH.  THEN IT WILL BE TIME TO ADDRESS HIS KNEE PROBLEM. THANKS TO THE GOOD LORD ABOVE, I HAVE BEEN UP TO ALL THE CHALLENGES THAT HAVE COME MY WAY AS OF LATE.  I HOPE AND PRAY THE SAME IS TRUE FOR EACH ONE OF YOU. TILL LATER-JUST ME
