I can eat all I want of this stuff:
Mostly, I eat carrots and tomatoes. Asparagus at dinner.
It’s working!
I’m 15 pounds down.
That’s almost like not carrying 7 liters of water!
My pack fully loaded is around 31 lbs. I am planning to lose 30. Essentially, what I am saying is,
I will be carrying a 1 pound pack.
This will solve a couple of problems. My clothes will fit better. My back will be happier. My plantar fasciitis will be GONE.
Marsha at Apex Physical Therapy is fixing me. I am walking normally for the first time since 2016.
Yes. This is the new me. The me that will finish the Appalachian Trail. I’m thinking positively.
On a negative note. Another squamous cell cancer removed. I took off the bandage this morning and freaked out! That is a big incision!
Then, just after I came out of the surgeon’s office, the nurse told me that both the biopsies sent out came back positive. Two more surgeries. One right next to my eye:
See that little dot? How are they going to work there???
Then one on my nose on the other side. Zotz!
Zotz! Now there’s a blast from the past! 1962 Film with Tom Poston and Jim Backus.
My mind, as usual is all over the place.
I’m camping and hiking a little with a full pack this Saturday. First time in months. I will be trying out my new foot.
Saturday came and went. I had a BALL! Can you tell?
My Achilles bothered me after about an hour and a half on the light trail.
Back to PT today.
One day at a time.
15 pounds down.
Just Doug
What type of doc did the big scar and are they stitches or glue holding the incision? Will you have a Mohs Surgeon or a plastic surgeon do the one near your eye? I’m a curious little devil, aren’t I? Just looking out for that cute little face!

Next entry explains some of it. Mohs surgeon at Yardley Derm. Tiny stitches. He’s amazing. Dr. Carman Campenelli.
