Hello bloggers! I hope everyone is having a great day. It is beautiful in Florida today and we are celebrating Sydney Blayne's 4th birthday! I have taken on the task of making a Princess Castle cake. It takes 5 cakes to make the castle. Trust me, brain surgery makes you do CRAZY things :>) I know I smacked you with a new one yesterday. I just thought for those of you who do not pray on a regular basis or only if you have a specific prayer, that maybe I could keep you visiting with the GREAT LORD!!! I didn't really give alot of info about the melanoma's yesterday. I scheduled an appointment with a dermatologist 6 months ago, well before I knew anything about the aneurysm. The appt. was July 31 and I decided that I have been to enough doctor's for awhile and I was going to cancel the appointment and reschedule in another 6 months (FL skin doctors are busy). Cortney and I had round after round about the decision and thankfully he won, I decided to keep the appointment. The doctor removed three moles for biopsy of which two were positive melanoma's. One is located on my inner right leg, appx. 5 inches above the knee. The other is located on my left buttock, right in the panty line. We do not have a copy of the pathology report yet but the doctor states that they are still situ (stage 0), which means they have only invaded the top layer of skin. I will see a plastic surgeon on August 12 to have them both removed. I have only had a "shave" at this point. I am thankful that yet again the Lord has helped me identify an extreme problem at an early enough time to prevent spread. I will be having skin exams every 3 months for many years.
