  1. I had Mohโ€™s surgery yesterday morning and now have a hole in my head ,no jokes please. The hole is the size of a quarter and about 1/4 โ€œโ€ deep.The surgeon said it was too big to suture and gave me three options: 1) A human skin transplant.He said this procedure has been used the past two years and is the fastest way to heal.No showering for a week and treatments every week for 6 weeks.He said Medicare covers the procedure but health insurance carriers do not.The side effects are possible infections. 2) A skin graft using skin from my chest.I had this in 2010 and was not happy with the results. 3) Letting the area heal on its own ,washing it twice a day and applying an ointment.This way is the longest way to heal. He gave me an hour to decide ,the time from removing the first layer till he got the results from his lab.I had to have a second layer removed and had more time to think. I opted for number 3.Toby treated many hospital patients in this manner when she was an RN. My forehead will not look good for months but I only go out of the house for medical appointments .

They are LADYZ and the BOYZ.If anyone is interested you can find them on You Tube.
