I just had mohs surgery for basal cell carcinoma followed by plastic reconstruction surgery on my face on Tuesday. I was just wondering if anyone else has had this surgery and what their experience with surgery and recovery was like? As for me it has been a very frightening experience and I may have to go back in for more reconstruction in a few months. I HOPE they are better at giving the general anesthetic next time around. I had nightmares from it last night and got up a 3 a. m. this morning. So I would say I am in a state of anxiety and panic about the whole process right now. My face looks so ugly right now. I get my stitches out on Tuesday. The total healing process takes several months not to mention the pain involved. I hope it looks and feels better as time goes on. Right now ice packs are my best friend. I can not even put my eyeglasses on so reading and sewing as a positive distraction is out for now or driving because one does need to see where they are going to drive a car. No heavy exercise or sun either. This is not helping my anxiety issues..I am very scared...
