I don't think I've ever taken so many photos of myself. I find that they turn out best when I use the mirror and live-view with my DSLR. That being said...
Today's update. 9 days post treatment #2
The big bruised spot has receded, leaving some new dark red/purple splotches. All around, it feels like it's gone down a bit. The 2 of the dark dots (of 5 total) feel harder, not as smooth as before. Perhaps in another week or two the area will change again. I'll post more photos next week.
I'll be booking procedure #3 this week. Should be mid-September.

2 days post treatment
My throat started hurting yesterday morning, perhaps even Friday night. It's not a cold-type sore throat, more lower, making some food feel like it's sticking. Today it has improved to a dull irritation. This morning I awoke to much bruising and increased swelling. Hopefully it will recede in a couple days and we'll be able to see an improvement!

Bleomycin Treatment #2 - Post procedure
There's something comforting when the nurses in the day surgery unit remember you. :) I'm doing great. Very thankful that these procedures are quick and relatively painless. I sit here feeling more tired from the 5:30 wake-up, fasting, and gen. anesthetic than from the procedure itself. I am blessed and thankful every day that my vascular malformation is mostly a cosmetic malformation, not impairing my speech, breathing or jaw functions.
This time they treated the area near my ear. I'll post photos later. :)

This Friday!
Back to Toronto Western on Friday. Hopefully this procedure will actually make a difference, unlike the first one.
I'll take another photo and post it before I go on Friday. :)
