Day 126

Unfortunately, there's no picture today.  But it was an adventure!  I went to a dermatologist for the first time.  I had a bump on the back of my leg that I just didn't like.  I went to my doctor and asked her to get rid of it, but instead she wanted me to see a dermatologist.  Having never gone before, I had no idea what to expect, plus I was paranoid about what the bump was and what they were going to do to get rid of it.
I'll spare you the details, but just know I really don't do well with needles or anything like that.  As I was lying on the exam bed/chair, I asked for a stress ball.  There was a convenient metal thing holding the headrest to the back of the chair, so I rested my arms on it.  Just ask the doctor was about to cauterize my leg where the bump had been, the nurse thank goodness saw that my arms were resting on the metal.  She exclaimed, "Wait!  Move your arms off that!  You would have gotten a big shock if we started."
Whew.  Just what I would have needed.  Another traumatizing event involving doctors.  No thank you.
