Well, I am back to bandages on the nose.<\/p>\n

The last trip to the dermatologist resulted in a session of “dermal abrasion” to smooth the edges of the skin graft and – eventually – blend the graft and skin color into the rest of the nose. It hurt like heck. Not the abrasion itself, but the needles used to inject the local anesthetic. The nose did not feel all that great after the anesthetic wore off, either. I hope this is the last session I need!<\/p>\n

For what it’s worth, the tool used by the doctor looks like an engraving bit used in a Dremel tool. It looked something like this, but a little rougher:<\/p>\n

(The doctor did the work by hand, just in case you were wondering.)<\/p>\n

We had planned a trip over to the lot this weekend, but the forecast of 4 – 6 inches of snow above 8,000 feet means it would be a poor couple of days to travel and work, so we are staying home. \u00a0I’m working on this post instead!<\/div>\n

We heard from Toby. He is settling in and starting to look for work. His bedroom is under the eves of an old house and he says he can’t stand fully upright in the shower, but he will just have to get by. Living and kitchen are on the main floor and are OK if not exactly spacious. Laundry is in the basement, which means trips up and down a very steep stairs. Ah, the joys of being single and young.<\/div>\n

I’ve taken a few more photos of our cats and will be adding them to the cat slide show. Here are a few of them:<\/div>\n

Well, I am running out of things to write about, so it must be time to quit.<\/p>\n

That’s it for now. Thanks for looking in!<\/p>\n<\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
