One Year Ago
When I was a kid, I used to mow lawns in the neighborhood. I had quite a few customers. It was summer and I never bothered to wear a shirt. I would develop quite a tan although not as orange as the one sprayed on Trump. If sunscreen existed I didn't know of it and wouldn't have used it.
In 2013 I had a sore on my ear that wouldn't heal and underwent a bit of surgery for skin cancer. In 2015 I went again for another sore on my nose. I was paying for my years of working in the sun.
In both cases I had squamous cell carcinoma which was treated with MOHS surgery a process that involves cutting, testing and waiting. It is not the most pleasant way to spend a summer day.
My doctor is located in Keene, NH and the commute takes me along wonderful views of Mount Monandnock. I stopped in front of Perkins Pond with my bandaged nose to chat with a painter. He was visiting the region from the midwest.
