A Basel Cell Carcinoma, well that’s what I got removed from my ear today and as I write this my ear is still under the influence of the anaesthetic and so is quite happy just being an ear. I am not looking forward to when it wares off, not sure how much pain I will receive but I guess I have all that to look forward to.

He gave me about three injections, however they felt no worse than an insect bite and it was very strange feeling with my ear being pulled and prodded and when he was doing the stitches ,well that was just weird. I have to keep it dry for about three days, so maybe no shower and I might be quite smelly by then. I could always put a bag over my head when I’m having a shower…………..

Sleeping will also be a challenge I am sure, I’ll no doubt wake up screaming in the middle of the night as I role over to my right side and flatten my ear against the pillow. I’ll put down a towel on the pillow just in case I lose some claret.

I only have a quarter of a bottle of whisky left and so that could also be a possible catastrophe, I’ll just have to wait and see……

As they say in the song wear sunscreen…..
