Thank you!

I just wanted to thank everyone for their care and concern after my recent skin cancer surgery. I was pleased to hear that the second lot of surgery was successful and the doctor got the invasive cancer out completely. That was just as well as I didn't know how I could undergo another lot of surgery as I have developed a very painful infection which has kept me laying low for a number of days.

I haven't felt well enough to write any blog posts but just wanted to try and stay upright for long enough to thank everybody. I am on antibiotics and the doctor said there should be an improvement in the next 24 hours. She was quite concerned as it isn't an infection of the wound which is common if the doctors have to go in through the same incision again so she is not sure what is causing it and has taken a swab but the results won't be back for 3 or 4 days.

Cheeky Lynda wanted a photo of my black eye but I can't help with that this time round as it is still red and very swollen as you can tell from the selfie I took. I am getting used to taking selfies regularly to see if there is any improvement as there is nothing else I can do as I can't  concentrate on anything so reading or knitting is out of the question. You can't see it in the photo but under my nose are lots of painful spots which the doctor thought looked like shingles but she said they don't normally appear there. So time will tell when the tests come back. Meantime it's back to bed for me.

Sorry I haven't been visiting my usual blogs and commenting as I haven't felt up to it but hopefully things will get back to normal soon. That would be nice as three days of living on boiled eggs and toast is getting a tad boring but I can't eat much because my mouth is swollen. 

At least the pathology tests were good so that is the main thing, don't you think? Thanks for your concern. It means a lot.
