STAYING HEALTHY

When you move to a new area there is always the challenge of finding doctors, dentists, nail salon, place to get your hair cut, convenient pharmacy, etc.  Neighbors and ward members have been very helpful in helping us with recommendations.  Both Chuck and I have needed doctors since we've been here.

Right before I left Bellevue, my Family Practice doctor there noticed a spot on my nose that he thought was basal cell carcinoma and told me to get it checked soon.  Which I did, and needed a deep excision to go deep enough to get it all.

The size of the lesion they removed

This is how much they had to extend the incision to close it without any puckering!!  That is down to the cartilage.

All closed up.  It is now healed with no visible scar!

Chuck just had his knee scoped yesterday to clean up 3 separate areas of shredded cartilage.  So we had to find an orthopedist- which is easy to do in a ski town.

All's well that ends well!
