Do I only need a support person to pick me up after MOHS surgery?

@pjs7: My husband has "white coat syndrome". His BP can be perfectly fine but as soon as a medical professional walks into a room, watch out systolic! Hopefully this was just a temporary blip for you and all will return for normal soon.
This was the first I learned about Quality Care so I appreciate your sharing about that service. How did you - and are you - feeling physically after the procedure?

@grammato3I am doing well. Thank you for asking. I am taking a blood pressure med now and probably will need to stay on that for now. My MOHS wound (or defect as they like to call it) is healing nicely but we opted for a secondary intent healing instead of stitches so it’s taking a little longer. I’m on week 4 and still apply the Vaseline twice a day. I don’t think the scar is going to be too bad. This whole thing has definitely been a learning experience! I now apply my sunscreen religiously and wear a big hat on my walks. I apologize if some of my comments have not quite fit in the “visiting Mayo” category but I have learned so much and felt so supported by all comments and I hope my sharing has helped others too. I am so glad I found this forum. You know, sometimes friends and family aren’t as supportive as you’d expect or like them to be so it’s important to have these places to discuss health issues!
