Just so you can see the necessity of covering those beautiful hands, it isn't pretty. It is about 3" long & a hole beneath there of the size of a 50 cent piece was where the cancer was. Amazing how this surgeon does such beautiful work ... 30+ stitches. You can see the before in a couple of posts earlier ... who would have thought those spots were cancer ... but they got it all, thank you Lord.

Everybody should just make a conscious decision to be happy & to have a good day - every morning. It's easier to be happy than angry. Anger uses up a lot of energy that could be used for SMILING.
The trick is to figure out a way to live within your means, & want what you have, not what you want.

Nothing sucks more than that moment during an argument when you realize you're wrong.
As you slide down the banisters of life may the splinters never point the wrong way.
~ Friends ~
The best kind of friend
is the one you could sit on a porch with,
never saying a word,
and walk away feeling like
that was the best conversation you've had.

Stronger Than Before
"Broken wings take time to mend,
Before they learn to fly again.
On the breath of God they’ll soar,
They’ll be stronger than before.
Don’t look back into the past,
What was fire now is ash.
Let it all be dead and gone,
The time is now for moving on."
~ Janny Grien
Portion of her song lyrics

Don’t speak to me...
... about your religion; first show it to me in how you treat other people.
Don't tell me how much you love your god; show me in how much you love all his children.
Don't preach to me your passion for your faith; teach me through your compassion for your neighbors.
In the end, I'm not as interested in what you have to tell or sell as I am in how you choose to live and give....

ReplyDeletePraise God he got all that nasty cancer out! It looks like it is healing up very nicely to me.
ReplyDeleteHugs,
Angela
Poor, Dear One! I'm so sorry but glad the doc got it. My mother has had lots of skin cancers and even had to have a face peel because she had so many popping up on her face. I told her people paid big money to get that to look younger! :)
ReplyDeleteBlessings,
shelia ;)
Bless your heart. It still looks painful.
ReplyDeleteMy hubby went to his dermatologist this morning and the Dr was not happy! Told my hubby he needs to get aggressive with treatment, or he will regret it. I hope he follows through.
ReplyDeleteSo glad all is on the mend! Hope your mobility with your hand heals fast!
ReplyDeleteOoohhhh my Gosh !! You don't mess around girlie !! YIKES !!! I NEVER knew !!! WOW !!! You are keeping up with the hubster !! Drs. and all ?! YUCKO !!!

Hi Marydon, I have been praying for you and I am so glad that they got it all. I will continue to pray for a speedy recovery and I do like your new set of wheels. I would like one, but it would be to hard to get hubby in and out if I ever get him out of the nursing Home. Prayers and Hugs to both you and Harold from your Missouri Friend
ReplyDeleteOuch! Sorry you've gone through so much.
ReplyDeleteThat looks like a great job of sewing!
ReplyDeleteGlad they got that out.
Hugs and take care of yourself.
The Lord is good...thankfully your skilled doctor was able to get it all. What a beautiful job he did too.
ReplyDeleteYou are in my prayers my friend. xo
Praise God all was taken out and your healing nicely. You and Harold have really been through it these past few months.
ReplyDeleteI spent hours last week looking at all your feed sacks and now I must go back again and see if I can make up my mind. I am looking for some for shelves in my kitchen.
Stay well and warm and thanks for coming by and showing me your support tonight.
Gosh I sure did not mean that post to be ugly like the commenter took it to be.
I have a pretty good idea who it was and she should know me better than that. Oh well I can't let it bother me but your support meant the world.
Stay warm...hugs and kisses to you both
Love
Maggie
I'm so happy all the cancer is gone. My DH has had a few cancerous skin things removed. He'll go to the doctor worried about one spot, and it will be a different one that is the problem.
ReplyDeletePraying for a speedy recovery for you.
Oh Marydon, I'm sorry to hear you had to go through this, but I'm so happy to hear the doctor got it all. Hoping and praying the healing time goes quickly. ((big hugs, and take care)) ~tina

ReplyDeleteDear Marydon,
ReplyDeleteI am so thankful that you found a good doctor and he took care of this in a positive way and the cancer is gone. Your hands are beautiful and the scar will fade in time.
Many blessings my friend for better days ahead and many yours this new year.
Keeping you in prayers always.
Love, Celestina Marie
Well praise God that they got it all, Marydon. My mom has had skin cancer and had to have reconstructive surgery on her NOSE! I have had it on my arms and our daughter, Ashley just had some removed. I'm so glad you are going to be ok. Your hand will look better in no time.

ReplyDeleteMarydon,
ReplyDeleteI just had that done on the calf
of my right leg. Plus 10 swipes with a knife. At this point I think

I am concerned about Sherry.
Hope all is OK with her. Haven't heard from her for a LONG time.
Happy new year and get well soon.
yvonne
Oh my friend I do hope that your healing is continuing on.

ReplyDeleteHi Marydon,
ReplyDeleteit's me Yvonne.
Thanks so much for the comment. I was worried about Sherry. I have a Heidi on sidebar, now I realize it is not Sherri's Heidi. Well be well, and thanks so much.
yvonne

ReplyDeleteSo thankful that you found a Dr who KNEW what was going on!
ReplyDeleteTake good care!
XO deb
