You're so vain....
Some of you know, others don't.
I'll be undergoing outpatient surgery for a spot on my face which is Basal Cell Carcinoma. The good thing is that once it is removed I won't have to worry about that specific area, just watch for future ones.
But needless to say, the fear of getting put under is daunting. I have never had any sort of major surgery, wisdom teeth but that is it. And while I have mentioned and talked about it on Facebook, there are something that I would rather not have out there. For some reason people from High School (that I barely if ever hung out) with are friending me there, some are great, others eh.
So here is where I will talk about the fear and more details of what they will be doing. It is large enough that he is going to be making an extra incision and flapping some of my cheek over the area he is going to cut out. He pretty much stated, you will not get away with out a scar. Sounds like it is going to be a diamond shape and I'm sure he'll do all he can to minimize it, but I am realizing how vain I am.
There is a part of everyone who does not want to be "disfigured" in any way, it is somewhat human nature. I have been making jokes about how it will look and asking what type of scars I should request (doc wasn't amused when I told him that). But part of me is more scared of what I am going to look like after wards than going under for the procedure.
(And an amusing side note: scar is the base of scared....interesting note.)
I have been talking to a few people around here on it, and they are helping somewhat, it is more my mental state. I tend to take things to the extreme worse case scenario before coming back to reality and being able to say, not happening have more faith in yourself and people.
