Cheeky

I woke up like this after surgery to sew up a hole left behind by a dermatologist who excised a melanoma in situ.  It took two tries before she "cleared the margins" on my left cheek.

How do you like my deluxe room at New York Presbyterian Hospital?  None of my caregivers knew the building had been named for Leona Helmsley, the Queen of Mean, or that her pooches inherited a shitload of money!

Dr. Leslie Cohen, my plastic surgeon (the last kind of physician I ever thought I would have to consult!), removed my bandages three days after she used some loose facial skin to close the wound.  Basically, I had a face lift in reverse.
