First of all, go over to Art's page and wish him a Happy Birthday. Today is the 20th anniversary of his 29th birthday!! (Pssst! that's not REALLY a picture of Art up top - I'm just funnin' him.)
And then, another item of interest. After reading through all the entries on my Google Reader this morning I wanted to leave comments on Yvonne's page and on Moody Gemini's page, but for the life of me I couldn't get the comment to register. When I would click the submit button all I would get was this page cannot be displayed. What's up with this? Anybody else had this trouble?
And then onto other business - yucky business. This may be too much information for some people. Remember a couple of weeks ago when I went to see the dermatologist and he Pinched, Poked, Prodded and Fried my body? Well, at that time I also had him check out a small, round lump close to my tummy button. He told me it was nothing to worry about, just a cyst and it would probably disappear on its own. But if it didn't - to come in and see him. Weeellll - over the weekend it tripled in size and started to hurt like a son of a gun.
Monday morning I called and he had had a cancellation, could I be there in 20 minutes. You've never seen anybody do the hustle as fast as I did. Considering I was still in my jammies when I made the call, and I live about 12 miles from the clinic, I strapped on my Superman cape, flew cross country and made it there in time. Ole says I must have broken the land speed records and I was lucky there were no highway patrols in the vicinity. Yup - I'm lucky that way because I admittedly have a very heavy foot.
Anyway, Dr. Derm looked at the lump, poked a bit and said, "Yup, it's got to come out." So he gave me a shot to numb the area, used what he called a punch and a tweezer and pulled this little puppy out. Then he held it up so I could see it and said, "Here it is, isn't it a pretty one?" It was about the size of a dime, all squiggly and lumpy and really ugly. I really didn't need to see it.
Then he came with his needle and thread and stitched me back up - 4 stitches, which are very sore this morning. Unfortunately this little spot is located right where the waistband of my jeans sit, not a good spot. Hopefully the tenderness will be gone by the time we leave on our bike trip because I've got a lot of layers of stuff that will have to ride on my waistline - jeans and chaps, etc.
Oh, well, cross that bridge when I get there I guess. I'm just glad I could get in as fast as I did because it didn't give me time to think about it. And now it's gone. Dr. Derm said if it had ruptured below the skin it would have caused some serious inflammation and would have been very uncomfortable. Something I really didn't want to deal when I'm away from home.
Anyway - because I didn't accomplish much yesterday in regards to getting the RV organized, etc., I better move it along today.
See ya - Love Lena
PS: Happy birthday AGAIN Art - have a great day.

Ouchie!! I know exactly what you mean. It's best not to be given time to worry about the appt, just go in and get it done. Hope you are doing better soon!!
hehehehe that is a funny pic lena!! thanks!!! as for the lil owie, i had one in my back a long time ago that had to come out, so you are lucky that it didnt burst!!
Ouch! I'm sure you have a muumuu in your closet somewhere that you can wear while it heels? No? Does Ole?
I was reading through my sleep study pamphlet and I have to do in with no hair product in my hair. I suppose that's because they supply the gel? Ha! Egads I'm funny when I'm tired!
Oh, wouldn't that be cute. Can't you see me wearing a hot pink Hawaiian floral muu muu on the back of the Harley with all the extra fabric flying out behind? And Yes, they DO furnish the gel - really gooey and sticky.
Oweee!! I'm impressed that you were able to get in so quickly and have it removed immediately. My military brain just can't wrap itself around such a miracle! ;o) Sure hope the pain disappears soon.
OWWWWWW! But good thing it didn't happen on your trip!
One the waist has got to be one of the worst places! You poor thing! Well, you're just going to have to run around in the nude and tell Ole he just has to keep his hands off you for now.
Drat, I forgot what I wanted to tell you! That Geico ad? It IS playing now. I saw it three times today thad then did a search for it. I got a hit on you tube right at the top of the list.
Ouch! I do hope it heals up before your trip. But just in case it doesn't, get someone to take pictures of you wearing a hot pink Hawaiian floral muu muu on the Harley. Don't forget to accessorize!
Will you be wearing underpants with that pink floral mumu?
Paula gets the prize for making me laugh the loudest! And I suspect that every time I think of it tonight I will be laughing out loud again!!!
Seriously, I am so glad you could get it taken care of so quickly. What was it and is he sending it off for a biopsy??
first of all ... Ick! Glad you got that taken care of. Why do we all get those georegous bumps with age.
