I'd happily wear it, then I could avoid making eye contact with people but still be ready to spring to their defence in an instant.

It's becoming apparent to me that the physical healing is the easy part of all this, the emotional and mental trauma is a real grind but I will not be beaten.

Two very groovy clocks that will be coming to my Etsy store very soon. A Citizen bedside clock and a space age Seiko from the 1960s.

Post op check up done. The skin graft is pink and healthy and the donor site is healing well. Another check up in a week but it's looking good so far.

Got a call yesterday afternoon from the plastic surgeon who did my procedure. Everything removed, margins all clear, no further surgery required. Just got to wait for the skin graft and graft site to heal. What a fucking relief!

Surgery went well. Nasty carcinoma removed. Skin graft applied. Now three wound sites are healing, the graft itself, the graft site where they took the skin from and a small BBC that was removed as well. They certainly got their pound of flesh! Just need to wait on the biopsy results now.

Health update. Surgery booked for September 1 to have SCC removed and skin graft applied. The vascular surgeon couldn't come up with a solution to get the DVT to resolve more quickly so I'm off to see a haematologist on Monday. If it's not the hardware (vein) then it must be a software issue (blood)

Scan results are in. My lungs are clear apart from some scarring of the lower left lobe which is to be expected after the beating they took. The DVT in my left leg is not resolving as quickly as my GP would like so it's off to see a vascular surgeon for further investigation and treatment.

I'll be a lot happier when my body stops actively trying to kill me. First the DVT and pulmonary embolisms, now a squamous cell carcinoma on my head which will require excision and a skin graft. At least it's not a melanoma. Still, that's quite enough for this year thanks.

Three months post DVT and pulmonary embolisms and it's ultrasound and CT scan day to see if the little fuckers have dissolved. Tomorrow, off to the dermatologist to have a hopefully non cancerous lesion on my head looked at. It's all happening here.

Physically I look fine, I've lost a bit of weight and don't look too bad but this whole medical episode really did a number on me mentally. I've had setbacks before but it's going to be a long grind out of this hole.

I was doing some reading and learned that the embolisms I had in my lungs had to travel via my heart to get there. It makes sense now but I was wondering why they were monitoring my heart so much while I was in hospital. Subsequent tests have cleared it of any damage which is remarkable.
