Something I Have Had To Share, The "C Word Is Back"

Alright Kindred Ones, I must admit there is something I have not shared with you my guests yet. Yes, I must admit, I have had to ignore and I sure did,  just ignored a health issue that appears to have returned. I have truly not dealt with what is going on and the urgency that I have to see my good doctor who practices next to Memorial. That something I have seen, but really just noticed today, how the shapes have manifested into odd and scary formations of skin cancer. I know with this current assault of skin disfiguring, there will be some removal’s and samples sent off to the laboratory. There are multiple sites of various formations and for the first time ever, I have a bleeding site, this one being on top of my head and scalp. I have connected and shared certain episodes from these aspects of my diseases and illnesses here on blog. I opened up a spell ago, when with one episode Dr. Super Fly, needed to remove a lump from my Mr. Wang. I mean really. I have had a lump removal from my right chest. There really haven’t been much issue with dermatology and really. I own this is probably something that really could have been dealt with three or four weeks ago, I have kept near hyper vigilance with the procedures and going on at Moffitt and Tampa General. There have been so many appointments in the past month. This is something I despise speaking about, even thinking about the ‘C Word’, makes me feel goofy in my chest. I have seen with my eyes what cancer does to Folks. I watched as Dad suffered and died from Bone Cancer. I have had numerous aunts and uncles cross over from Cancer.

Granted we speak of an opportunistic disease that manifests in many ways, shapes, and parts of our body. What I am dealing with is a skin cancer, and this is something that we’ll jump on now. Yes, I give my word I will be making a call for an appointment with my very polite, professional, and more than well and able Dr. Super Fly. She is a Board Certified Dermatologist. As mentioned earlier, doctor’s clinic is next door to where I have been a patient for Asthma one dozen times over the years. Dr. Super Fly has been a member of my Better Health Team for many years, and I believe we met during the times of hit and miss the guinea pig with my former Neurologist. Dr. Super Fly, is swift with her procedures and utilizes modern tools as well as (more) syringes and scalpels - like a pirate uses a sword she uses her tool with purpose.. She is the one who has removed lumps, bumps and peculiarities from my body. She has always assisted me in having some sense of me being a pleasant looking fellow. Yes, I'm a Big Fellow, but not like Jabba from the Star Wars Motion Picture. I am 6'2" and  am presently 248 pounds and oh so truly, still strong even though my muscles and I have slept too much life away the past year.

 I wish to jump on my imaginary Pony and ride off into the Sun Set, set up camp in the forest up near Ocala National Forest, find a place for my Vision Quest. Though not now, during a Florida Summer, even when enclosed in a zipped up tent, life is chaotic because the pests and sparrow sized mosquitoes find their next meal in there with us and if there's more than one person, oh my good goodness! It’s a Bug's Golden Corral.

I shared this latest medical stuff with my wife this evening, she had a look and I gathered she was not too cheerful about this. We had a peaceful evening, along with our opportunity to speak, we had one hell of a rather rambunctious lightening storm out there this evening with very much rain, thank you Great Spirit! And one awesome electrical and sound show that sometimes startled us. Or the Hounds, or us, or all of us, this Tampa Bay lightening has had some bass and it strikes with a vengeance. Botswana and I were on the sofa and Abigail was with me and so very close. Chi-Chi sat with Botswana and Hershey sat on my right foot on the floor next to me. We shut off all inside lights, computer and television to listen to Great Spirit's Light and Rocking, Rolling Thunder! For sure, God was having a mighty fine game or few in Heavens own Bowling Alley.

Like the old days, before our baby's came to join us over there in Fort Lauderdale and the other in Miami. I felt something in my heart, something that puts me in the position where I can’t speak about this at this moment. I sure do have to figure this out and then I'll jump on this key board.

 I will report results of the morrows call with my dear Doctor Super Fly. You know what? This was a heavy burden in my heart when I went to therapy today. I wonder if this might have been a factor in my not so pleasant gathering and departure from someone I have been seeing for a few years. Curious, because this was compounding other issues I never had a chance to discuss.

This is a promise that I will get into clinic as soon as possible so that Dr. Super Fly might attack these four spots. There is three on my right face, with one lesion that has been open at one time and or another, there is one very raised berry looking circular bump that was not there just a few weeks ago, and one lump that has been hiding behind my beard. My ultimate concern is the bleeding lesion up top, fluids from the space between my scalp and skull and drops of my blood can be collected by placing a napkin at the site. Shoot, Grandpa, I think we have a slice and dice coming up directly. Come on by and sit with me a spell. Thanks for our visit, I always appreciate you stopping by on your way up to Louisiana to see your Kin up there. My Grand Pa Roy, thank you for being such an awesome Grand Pa! So many fantastic memories, so many lessons! Grand Father, I love you.
