A quick post tonight as my arm is aching after
this afternoon's procedure to remove the melanoma.
I did get some good news.
My melanoma is Stage One which means,
as long as he removed all the cancer today,
I will only need to go back for six monthly check-ups
over a five year period.
He removed a fair bit from my upper arm
and I'll have a nasty looking scar but
my future is looking good!!
I did today's sketch before I had the procedure
and then, added the words later.
#17 of 75 pen/ink sketches
A prickly pear cactus!
Pencil-free sketch in A6 pocket Moleskine sketchbook
using ZIG Millennium and Micron pens.
The prickly pear cactus is seen as a noxious weed here so I keep it in a pot.
This one belonged to Beau but he threw it out when he moved
because he had another one.
I rescued it!
The doctor told me that I'd be in for a rough night
so I'm off to take some Panadol and rest.
~ Love, light and peace ~

ReplyDeleteGreat news Serena!
ReplyDeleteThat's good news Serena. I love your sketch of cactus. I have a huge cactus garden way out back. Love it! Have a wonderful rest of the week and take care.
ReplyDeleteHope you recover quickly dear lady. I am sending get well wishes across the oceans. I guess the subject matter of your sketch today was appropriate. Hopefully you'll be back to drawing softer plants soon.
ReplyDeletesleep well!

ReplyDeleteSo good to hear that it was stage 1 - just think that a big scar = no melanoma left. You can always say you got the scar rescuing tiger cubs!
ReplyDeleteSleep well and deep if you can, nothing else is important.
Hope your not in too much pain. Rest up chicken.
