The Ugly Truth

Me: "I want to take a picture"
Him: "You just want to put it on your blog"
Me: "Yes, but for posterity"

I am a tad upset with blogger... I had this all typed up and hit publish and for some reason it disappeared. Augh! - it will teach me to save as a draft first if anything.

Here are some pictures of a grumpy Smokes. After sitting at the Dermatology office for six (6) hours; being numbed, cut and microscopically checked, re-numbed for more excision and more checking. He got to watch the football channel (too bad the season is over...), had a half-dollar size chunk removed in total and lots of stitches.

He was NOT happy when I picked him up, but I remind him it is better than the alternative.
















After 24 hours and in between bandages he let me take a few more pictures.




After two weeks it looks pretty good. He had the stitches removed last Tuesday and the steri-strips are coming off (translation - rubbed off in aggravation). There is still some swelling and discolorations (read - black and blue) around his eye. The "Zorro" scar is a bit rough and will smooth out over time.

ps - He likes to tell people I did it to him

pps - I sure wish I know how to do the strike through on some words so I could use less of these (..)

**updated to fix spelling errors, maybe I should use spell checker...**
