Wham bam ,thank you ma'am.......

TGIF People,


Isn't it funny how your mind can run wild sometimes?


Need a 3 hour nap , I bet you have leukemia. Have some "thing" on you forehead?Ugh, I bet it is malignant and they will have to remove your nose and half your face.


These were the crazy thoughts going through my head yesterday. I actually had to tell myself "shut up! you crackhead!"


My doctors nurse called me yesterday "we got your lab work back, you are hypothyroid , we'll call in some thryroid medicine and your white cell count is high, we'll see you back in 4 weeks for more blood work."


Being hypothyroid DOES cover not only my exhaustion , but also my horrible memory,my metabolism of a slug, the dry itchy skin and a myriad of other crappy symptoms.
I am the poster child!


Whew, no leukemia. Thank God.


My appointment with the skin doc wasn't until 2:15 so I had all day to picture horrible skin cancer scenarios.


I finally get there and they sit me in this weird fat chair , my feet were dangling a foot above the ground. Not very comfortable . I felt sorry for little kids everywhere.


The doctor comes in and says "what are we seeing you for today?"


I lifted up my bangs and showed him . He said "Ewww."


"That is a ruptured blood vessel. We can cauterize it right now and it will look like a big scratch."


He whipped the chair back, poked some needles in my head and then the room filled with the smell of burning flesh. The nurse slapped a band aid on it and I was done.


Wham bam ,thank you ma'am. And I've been hiding that ugly thing for 10 damn years.






(nice roots BTW)

No more east indian dot. YIPPEE!!
And no face eating cancer either. Thank God.
















Woo Hoo a new box!!













"what in the world is wrong with this woman?
always sticking that camera in my face."








Have a wonderful friday peeps!

Luv me

Is that a spot on your lung or are you just happy to see me?

Hi'ya Peeps,


Yesterday , I had said "I'm stuck here waiting for UPS"


I was waiting for important documents which required a signature. :(
After my last experience with FED-EX ...I was not looking forward to a repeat.


I waited around for awhile and then I remembered "oh yeah, UPS doesn't come until late afternoon." So I left to go run my errands .


I get home and there's the dreaded "sorry ,we missed you slip" from UPS ,on my door.
GAH!


Around 5P.M. my doorbell rings. Shock ME! It is my UPS lady. She came back the SAME day and said "I thought ,she is not going to be home in the middle of the day ,So I figured I'd come back by today."




I could have kissed her! Can you believe this woman? I do not even know her name. I see her quite often at my door though. I am so impressed by her thoughtfulness and her "above and beyond the call of duty" attitude.I am certainly going to find out her name and tell her boss how great I think she is.


YOU rock, my UPS lady! Thank you!

This morning ,I needed to be up early because I had a doctors appointment. Naturally Cavuto let me sleep in until 8:00.


It was just a regular old check up "before England" and the unknown health care system.


My usual attitude towards doctors appointments is : unless I am bleeding,broken or giving birth .....I tend to avoid them.


So, this one was kind of necessary.I tried to make it as short and sweet as possible.



First thing.....was this dreaded instrument of torture.


The last time I went , I refused to get on it. I told the nurse"Nope, sorry , that will make me suicidal."


She took me serious and came in to speak to me about my depressive thoughts. (some people just do not get sarcasm) lol


Just so ya' know though, you CAN refuse to get weighed.


Today , I just bit the bullet and found, to my horror that I weigh 6 pounds MORE on their stinkin' scales than I do on the two fancy ass scales that I have at home.


Sweet, I'm even fatter than I thought.




My doctor came in and I informed him about England and told him "nothing much has changed since I was last here (3 years ago) except ,suddenly I need a 3 hour nap every day and that's just ludicrous.I still haven't been able to quit smoking and this THING on my forehead is growing."



He said that my 3 hour nap is probably due to an under active thyroid. (also a great reason to be fat ,in spite of eating very little)


We'll see when the blood work comes back.


I can NOT look when they do that. *shudder*








Then he listened to my lungs and said "lets get a chest x ray ,stick around until I take a look at it."



This had me a little freaked out. I hadn't said a word about any lung problems.



While I waited for the x ray ,I was imagining all kinds of horrible scenarios.






He finally came back and said "the x ray looks good."


WHEW. Scare me to death .


Then he gave me a prescription for Chantix....supposedly the latest and greatest quit smoking drug.


Desert dirt Diva was able to quit with it. So , maybe I will be able too as well.




This is pretty disgusting in a nice close up view. (*ewww*)
But this is the THING growing on my head.


Scroll by if you don't want to see it.




My doctor said "hmmmm, that looks like it could be *snazzy skin cancer word* which I can not recall, we better get you an appointment with a dermatologist."



His nurse called me this afternoon ,while I was napping. (oh shut up)

My appointment is tomorrow!

I hope that's not a bad/scary sign.



I was totally impressed with my doctor today . He addressed all my concerns and that is sooo damn rare these days.


I am going to write a glowing report to his boss as well.

It's great when people do a wonderful job at whatever it is that they do.
Thank you Doctor!

This afternoon we wound up having an unplanned hen party. Floozie 2 came over, then Nosey came over and then Eva. We all sat around and talked about "girl stuff"

We saw Nosey's pictures from their cruise. They were actual 8x 10 portraits. Absolutely beautiful.

Her and her husband also got a single photo taken of themselves because "we have to think about obituary pictures."
My husband will LOVE the "practicality" of that one.

Once I become friends with 70 year olds they better live until they're 90 ! Just sayin' .....haven't I suffered enough? LOL
No dying ya'll.

So except for my house being a neglected pig sty.....today was a pretty good day.


Hope that thing on my head is nothin' :0


Hope you guys had a good day.

Good night peeps!
