We’re back…back at Tall Chief in Fall City. We’re here so that Louise can have her surgery. She went in at 8 yesterday morning and at 5 we were heading home. Louise had a small brown spot on the side of her nose when she walked in to see her dermatologist…”what’s that on your nose?”. A little blade comes out, a sample is taken, and a diagnosis was made…carcinoma. Appointment is made for a Mohs with one doctor and a closure with another and at a different hospital. Fortunately with the Mohs, each little slice is analyzed to see if there is any cancer left after. If there is, a second or third or even more samples are taken until the cancer no-longer shows. Well for Lou, it took two sessions and she was clean of those cancer cells. It still took quite a bit from her nose but the doctors did a great job…now with a black eye and nose, a little swelling around both and enough stitches to sew up a dress shirt, she’s looking good !!! On Tuesday we go back and have the stitches removed and before you know it, she’s back to normal…looking that is…
Well with the Mini-Winnie here at the campground, I’ve got a few chores in place to get it ready for our journey to Mexico and a few things I’ve got to do to get the Endeavor ready for storage. We want to be on the road by the 15th of October so that we can attend a family wedding in Puerto Vallarta on the 6th of November. Fortunately we found a reasonably priced covered storage area. It is long enough for us to have the car and coach covered (50’ ) and it has electricity so that we can plug in.
