Good news today, most everything she was concerned about was doing much better - with the exception of the big gigantic fever blister that popped up last night. These are usually due to nerves but I don't really have anything to be nervous about so I'm blaming it on the flaming pink/orange lipstick I was wearing yesterday....no Miss Donna it was NOT Mary Kay.
Well, when she looked at my chin, she asked about this bump I have. My professional opinion is that it is a "long term zit" but it never goes away. I'm just blessed that way. Anyway, she asks how long it has been coming and going and I tell her for months. She frowns and I frown too. But I wasn't ready for the next thing she said, "Well, I don't like it - I want to take it off and do a biopsy!" ON A ZIT??? Are you kidding me? No she was not.
Needle in face to numb. (I'm so glad I do acupuncture - otherwise this would have been traumatic.) Scalpel to scrape it off and big round band aid to wear all week long or until it heals, (which with me will take twice as long as a normal person.) It's quite a cute addition to my normal beauty routine. I'm wondering if I color the band aids black if they will look like a beauty mark...do you remember those? Geez we are OLD.
Why am I sharing this wonderful episode in my life - well it is two-fold. One, the numbing is wearing off and I need to share my pain with people that care and two, I want to remind everyone to have their skin checked for questionable spots....you just never know when one of those childhood sunburns will raise it's ugly head in the form of skin cancer. I care about you all.
