so, recovery from my melanoma surgery has gone very well. it healed cleanly, w little pain. i didnt f it up by lifting too much. i get an occasional sharp sting, but it’s momentary.

now i cant wait for the skin to stretch, and rid me of this feeling that someone is squeezing my shoulder. the puckery scar doesnt bother me, but that grip is cancer, grabbing me.
the word bounces around my head less every day, but i know i cant let it go away, cuz i’ll drop my guard.

all things considered, i’m a lucky duck. i try to b grateful for that.
