Removal

Today I went to the dermatologist for two things: my scalp and a mole that has changed. He said my scalp was actually getting better, slowly but surely. He said the mole had to go. That's all fine and dandy, great news, especially knowing the fate of someone very close to me.

He then numbs the area and tells me he will be back with his nurse. About 3-5 minutes later he's back and tells me to lie back, etc. He then wants to test the area and asks if I can feel about three different needles, which I reply "yes". He asks "What does it feel like?" I say "A needle." Apparently he doesn't believe me, because about a second later out comes the mole. He said "What did that feel like?" in between my shock and awe I said "I don't know, I've never felt anything like that before." I don't know why he didn't believe me when I said I could feel it! Then came the worst part...the stitches. By then he knew I wasn't joking but we were too far in to turn back! So, I felt a mole removal, four needles, and three stitches today....not exactly what I was prepared for!

I go back in two weeks, so more news then!

Oh, other than that...not much else going on. Got to hang out with LB (that's short for Lori Bysong), went to Rockford to see the family, and had a fantastic weekend all around!

Loves!

My God, what kind of sadist doctor did you go to? If he ever has to touch you again and you even feel a slight twinge, you scream your lungs out so he believes you. I hurt just reading your blog! I'm sending very positive thoughts your way for a quick recovery and good outcome.

I am glad you got it removed. Anything suspicious has to go! Sorry for the pain - stupid doctors!
