Getting plastic surgery...seriously

Ok..It's not what you think. I had something like a wart grow on my face while I was in Sioux City, when I got back to Florida I went to the doctor and had it removed. They did some tests and called me to let me know it was carcinoma. A form of skin cancer. They said I have to get it taken off. We went to a specialist and he said it was no problem, however because it is in the eyelid area, I would need to have some form of plastic surgery to keep my eye from drooping.
I will get back to this in a moment....

As soon as my plane landed in Florida, I wanted to see the ocean, so we went straight to  the bamboo beach cafe. My plane landed at 12:45 in the afternoon and the weather was a delight! Right around 80 and sunny. We sat down and ordered some lunch with a fantastic view of the Atlantic. I inserted a video of me driving to the show in Denver for contrast reasons...sorry about it being sideways.

Lunch back in Paradise!

The next day I had an appointment with the specialist. It only took a half hour and he set the appointment for the surgery for Friday the 3rd of February.

yikes....

We went down to our beach, as I hadn't seen it in a few weeks and I wanted to see the progress. They were tearing down the beach cafe and building a new one.

The Pier Cafe...we loved this place

We just hung out at the house for the next few days as I was apprehensive of being out in the sun. After a few days we grew weary of sitting in the condo so  we headed down to the beach for diner, settling on Rattlesnake Jakes, which is apparently world famous. (According to their sign) The food was mediocre at best but we were pretty hungry so we ate it all. On a side note the beer was excellent!

At least the beer is good

I told you!

Sunday we read there was an art festival at the beach so we ran down and checked it out. Oh and for those of you who were wondering, I bought a hat!

The art festival was very busy and had quite a lot of neat stuff to look at. I think they wanted us to buy it, but I am cheap, and the stuff was expensive so it wasn't going to happen. We did purchase some food though...and it was very good!

Lot of art lovers here

I am nervously awaiting tomorrow for my surgery and will post with some gruesome pictures tomorrow....
