"Was also my first surgery." I said, "Doc, aren't you gonna give me an anesthetic? He replied, "No, it would hurt worse than the incision."
Ever see those movies ... a cowboy, on the prairie, gets snake bit and his partner cuts open his leg and sucks out the poison? Anyway, I felt like one of those cowboys that day ... I just wished it would have been my leg, and not my neck!
I wasn't sure I'd heard it, so I put my mind into the gutter ... and there it was! Thanks for the memory. :))

Removal of small basal cell carcinoma from my forehead. Took three tries to get the whole lot. Left my face asymmetrical. Am reminded of Emma Thomson in her role as Nanny McPhee.
