I Keep a Close Watch on This Nose of Mine

(3)

I never showed up for the next appointment, of course. I cancelled it, certain that I had finally unraveled the mystery of the nurse and the calling card: they wanted that photograph. And if they could also get a chunk of my nose in the bargain, so much the better, but their primary objective was that full, close-up, facial photograph.

I wrote about this in my drog, but I don't remember the level of detail. This is about as much detail as I remember nowadays. Who are 'they?'

Walter Gerash and Company.

Over the years I kept a close watch on this nose of mine. Nothing has changed. The good doctor at the Arapahoe Clinic got the entire cancer on the first visit and it has not recurred. All further excavations would have been entirely gratuitous.
