No Bending Over for Me!

Spending three hours at the dermotologist (skin doctor) is not my idea of a fun filled day before Christmas Eve! Well, this is how it went.

Several months ago, I went for a regular old doctors appointment. They checked me over and said they were worried about the mole on my back since it was darker than the other ones. So, recently, my mom made an appointment for me and my brother to see the dermotologist (me for my moles and my brother for his acne). At first, it wasn't all that bad. My mom got called in for her acne (43 and she still has acne trouble) and me and my brother were arguing over who would be called in second. End up we were called at the same time. Go figure. But, I was placed in a room first.

So, my dermotologist walked in and checked my moles and told me what I already new. The one on my back is the one to watch but they could take it off. I conversed with my mom and we decided we wanted to take it off. Silly me, I thought they would take it off later. NOT! They did it right then and there. So, no bending over for me until the stupid "wound" on my back heels and it's right before Christmas! God, I'm going to have fun opening presents Thursday morning (not!).

Well, on the bright side, at least I removed that thing from my back so I know I won't get skin cancer from that one. I guess my mom's right. There's a bright side to anything.
