I had my SCC procedure yesterday, and it went ok. They took out more than I expected- it ended up being about the size of a nickel after the second pass. I opted for the MOHS procedure since it is on my cheekbone (less likely to leave a huge scar). There is about a 2 inch 'scar' and both eyes are black. I'm too late for Halloween- darn! I'm sure it will heal fine.
A friend says I should call it a fencing accident: "...it was traumatic and I don't want to talk about it!" kind of thing. Sounds more interesting...
It reminds me of the time my Aunt Bonnie was on the cover of a PCC catalog wearing a fencing outfit. I thought it was just someone that looked like her; but when I mentioned it, she said that she had taken the class and they wanted her picture for the cover (I'm amazed she consented)! She was probably close to my age when she took that class. Only one of her many secret adventures.

Austin got me in the face pretty good with his knee yesterday. I thought for sure I'd have to explain the shiner today, but it wasn't really noticeable.
Well I'm glad everything turned out relatively OK. Maybe you're due for a nice new pair of sunglasses. :o)
I will definately take my sunglasses today! We have one gal at work that can't have a thought without saying it outloud... I wonder what gems will come spilling out today.
I'm wearing a purple shirt today, either to distract from my face, or to match the changing hue of my eye.
