I thought the surgery would be minor but it was large enough to require a 15 cm line of stitches when I went back today to close up the spot of skin he removed. I got good news that all of the melanoma was removed so no more surgery required. But my wife asked the doctor how long I should not ride my bike and he said because the incision is on the leg ideally two months but it might be one month depending on how I heal. If the incision had been in my upper body then I would not have missed as much time. Legs are slow to heal.<\/p>\n<p>Fortunately I reached my goal for the year and November but I will not ride my goal of 150 miles in December for now. Hopefully I don&#8217;t lose all of my conditioning but it will hard to not happen.<\/p>\n<p>If you are not afraid of seeing blood the photos below show the progress from when I arrived for surgery through today when I left the office.<\/p>\n<p>Around 4:30am on Wednesday I suffered a loss of blood from the surgery site. I went to the bathroom and on the way back to bed I felt my right leg was wet. I thought it was urine but it was a lot of blood. My wife helped clean me up and we added more bandages. Since then no more bleeding. Bless my wife for cleaning up the blood.<\/p>\n<p>God has been watching over me through this and I thank Him for the outcome.<\/p>\n<p><script src=\"https:\/\/cdn.jsdelivr.net\/npm\/publicalbum@latest\/dist\/pa-embed-player.min.js\" async><\/script><\/p>\n<div class=\"pa-embed-player\" style=\"width: 640px; height: 480px; display: none;\" data-link=\"https:\/\/photos.app.goo.gl\/c1HPhWKSQE43FL4J9\" data-title=\"11\/27\/2018 Surgery \" data-description=\"14 new photos added to shared album\" data-slideshow-repeat=\"false\"><img alt=\"\" data-src=\"https:\/\/lh3.googleusercontent.com\/ElBiMrYRKyzLxAjCVK5_EgPb29P-4HlDNYRJjY11Z74viSEdS57iMPsS0AB0ermzyV4kiP4xkfhmhlO-cSlurpBR-5idwfdzi22TOjg4M5L3v7OGrVWsvlGGWB5A3-bhpryotItXUgw=w1920-h1080\" \/><br \/>\n<img alt=\"\" data-src=\"https:\/\/lh3.googleusercontent.com\/kbb3aA6y7wLWhj063-pObWm9MwLhVDEPs0VfqILtAxsvYbYcXPy2udzDd97HGg9QhwUENA3xpnkkdLdRgGgr6Kk4I0oDJv0W5j_NPi-SrG96BVCZyAKRnAOb705bxPATP4zYJeX-pqI=w1920-h1080\" \/><br \/>\n<img alt=\"\" data-src=\"https:\/\/lh3.googleusercontent.com\/zKu44pde4oHnPE8eJuhkr_rgpSqUDWrhh3odfkMHhOhjSBuiVF315ndr1QCRxDvHXIj53EWkVV-W7NjWy3X-d-aUP5EtszhGpF0oQaul9Tg7JJnvSJvIUJb1rmfuXMsi7YADVAJRxb0=w1920-h1080\" \/><br \/>\n<img alt=\"\" data-src=\"https:\/\/lh3.googleusercontent.com\/j29JGJ94TieN6hJQoEV2HLbl06mvq0_7R6-Btqnx9zLpYYTCGYo8CIHJZ0y5HV6-p6pvnS8JN5B43MV-CnKypZcP0NAxCPL4leERUNSC1n0OQiAINiVxFU2j8GJUaZllhXCwNSbq9Pc=w1920-h1080\" \/><br \/>\n<img alt=\"\" data-src=\"https:\/\/lh3.googleusercontent.com\/c873zH0W8X6k-ikIAWCgrzao_7_5aCh3mizrodRoyke-TZSurjhtqm9Q0905WwqtjgPfrEM1vvbxJV9JS5dW19RfRxTY4Qq0g6XtzinI1fu8VFUKzPlYMMZGsyzYoQx37E4z86wLfmY=w1920-h1080\" \/><br \/>\n<img alt=\"\" data-src=\"https:\/\/lh3.googleusercontent.com\/WP8OaEZGvwvXv60mDuMy8rogBrOPM4x7GmpgPmMkeKQ-n5gVjBKSiVKuUvA4kgf8nKcC19fmZsaU3fD1Oi2uPLHT3UEZcAUqrggoR4fs87GTBev8GQi4IeB64IXi5uRQPEpzhV2uA_Y=w1920-h1080\" \/><br \/>\n<img alt=\"\" data-src=\"https:\/\/lh3.googleusercontent.com\/8Buv1slTXxMe5kTthCfZlA2jXWbIb6AtcMB9f_tpnLqfzBIZ8nQu7akagDIsFrPxaBUV-TGFGql-EOjmPIhwQ4qgLvwRHsh88Ben4M0QVdXyDaORDwj6VSRd-A12i5XgaKA7te5xlto=w1920-h1080\" \/><br \/>\n<img alt=\"\" data-src=\"https:\/\/lh3.googleusercontent.com\/s7c0Hh7KsZHRoqtWprzjyQR8rPI7X6Gei8pnThUIN8OrODJ3FWW0cHX874QAXBGGPalHKxsNt72gjn1l3M6VOMwR9m-oP5Cg8Qy5UyedOs3TWXnE5CJsOjX6FCLcvweMOko9TutoLkk=w1920-h1080\" \/><br \/>\n<img alt=\"\" data-src=\"https:\/\/lh3.googleusercontent.com\/Bj7EcAjM7LdE81YrrSrBy6FuKLPFVyA-EyEL-X23Iaq3c1sMrJrZXgRGLVYsrRlIl1HKyBaopcj0qdUmodtB22yhC8a405Hbt4S3AZ09paYaNNqVwKAIHODZW_gzyBpZ6R2b4q2iF_c=w1920-h1080\" \/><br \/>\n<img alt=\"\" data-src=\"https:\/\/lh3.googleusercontent.com\/gVuaDQmSC1xmSFpfwZAyhbS-pyIMfUkSHJiqb0uHe1sUrfgmzckvoYC8KrH9jP2gN7f5yOZtV6s7yN49XlT5-iCMmGGqJKbXgtOWY5UwsIC1RD5p36xTxvuUtUSNRpwWa8um2PNLS4M=w1920-h1080\" \/><br \/>\n<img alt=\"\" data-src=\"https:\/\/lh3.googleusercontent.com\/nvXJjiycoNRh3FtFm32pt4s3mRwS-VfxVmUGph5_wkij4AxGBFsREfXmlYuPjmcS5WamHbb8-eOBs47aKS46PpddrFkE8JVKgkysWAmH3qeKlH70acUZHMgT3frxAfP7A8o39AaenvE=w1920-h1080\" \/><br \/>\n<img alt=\"\" data-src=\"https:\/\/lh3.googleusercontent.com\/Un-E-rq3EV4-IZbnNHcBnvC8ChI4mdGDvZdIJmPwcHkum2iyd05fzswiTfSiJiZGLDHTFOk6PEbOL0JV6Kkep1OBZYyszLF5pa5psU7bxHWvrbzOiib6LPa7YbzwoGDyNBlshasHKQo=w1920-h1080\" \/><br \/>\n<img alt=\"\" data-src=\"https:\/\/lh3.googleusercontent.com\/_6zGyvp4rQtCXFr82xfH6LhPDAMw9cThg8KXFb9x82BqY1cJZKVvYglRhGLYFKKQrx-nieTRwiZ5YoHph6PUMtva3nvwF2a5wCz8wusXSmLXLrEH3S-2b470sJll2KETfAqXlSJ23hg=w1920-h1080\" \/><br \/>\n<img alt=\"\" data-src=\"https:\/\/lh3.googleusercontent.com\/E3UVnnFWzi8Z4IfKMi5vB7pcwdRJ65YxL4fFJMQsdV_Oi03fZXt43vW4zCXukuWlEYsIY96XAljromnLga98PtKIaqBTptbQtKJziBq_X2Z2G1EF0NwsneJldmy1GeMA6c2a8TVlReA=w1920-h1080\" \/><\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>On November 27th I went to the doctor to remove a melanoma area from my right calf.
