OT ~ Important, PLEASE read...
My dad has had skin cancer removed from his face a ton of times, but yesterday it took a turn for the worse. They were removing cancer from his nose and kept having to go deeper until half of his nose was removed. He had no idea this was going to happen. So this morning he had reconstructive surgery done to repair his nose. It seems it went better than they expected because they intended on having to use cartilage from his ear to rebuild his septum, but they were able to use cartilage from the nose only. I think his nose will be fine, but let me tell you, he was SCARED and very emotional. He now faces radiation treatments, so probably some rough times ahead.
Our relationship hasn't always been the best and after 27 years of marriage, he is JUST this past year or so, really given Mike a second look and they are actually getting kind of close. It's heart breaking in a good and bad way at the same time, so late in the game, but I guess better late than never!
Anyway, yesterday when my dad called me in total hysterics, he was so aware of how life can change in an instant and you never know what is going to happen next in your life. So keep that in mind and don't put off till tomorrow...
And PLEASE be careful with the sun!!!! I know we all want to look good by being tan and it is no fun to be white, but is it really worth what it could cost you? And if you think the tanning beds are any better, think again!!! If you must be tan, use creams or spray tans. And if you MUST be in the sun, PLEASE use MAJOR sunscreen and reuse it again and again. Let my dad's vanity about his looks ( he admitted that yesterday) be a lesson to all when it comes to sun safety, PLEASE!!!!
Ok, off my soap box now, Hugg those you love and tell them you love them every chance you get!!!! And in case you don't already know this, you are all VERY IMPORTANT to me and I couldn't imagine my life without all of you in it!!!! OH ROCKS and I am so grateful to God for the path my life has taken since my WLS!!!!
I love you all with the biggest huggs, Becky

We could learn a lot from crayons:
some are sharp, some are pretty,
some are dull, some have weird names,
& all are different colors....but they
ALL exist very nicely in the same box.
