December 12, 2011. Paradise Village, Mexico. The Stitches.

Ken has surgery twelve days ago in San Antonio to remove two cancers from his skin.   We were leaving for Mexico so he could not have the stitches removed, which meant that he would be forced to either have me cut them out or find a Mexican Doctor.  In addition to the cancer removed from his nose, the surgeon also removed a place on his right arm that she thought needed to be biopsied.  Turns out that she was right.  Ken had been asking about that spot for a couple of years and both the Dermatologist in Bethesda and Mississippi told him that it was fine.

The surgery was done in San Antonio because we were unable to schedule the complicated procedure while still in Jackson so Ken arranged to have the work done in San Antonio.  It was a good thing too as the spot turned out to be a melanoma.  The good Doctor removed the whole thing but wanted another bit of flesh removed.

Again, we are dependent on the Medical services of the small clinic in Nuevo Vallarta.  It turns out the facility and the doctors came through with flying colors.   Ken's nose is now without stitches and he has another wound on his arm.  We are pleased with the service and the treatment.  Certainly much better than using me!!.
