Aww Lyns...sorry you had to go through that all by yourself. I remember that you are terrified of needles. I am too! Hope you feel better soon. And you are right..you absolutely do not need to drive after taking painkillers all day.~Hugs~

I'm sorry you went through it, especially with a long gauge. I'm normally more scared of the drug that's administer then the needle itself.
But its over and done with, YEAAAH!! |

I remember you are afraid of needles. I'm glad it's done and over with. Did they say how long it would be for you to get the results of the tests? What kind of spots were they?

My hand is still okay but I'm starting to feel the foot one a bit... probably because I've been having to walk on it. I need to limit that as much as possible so I don't rip the stitches!
Janet, they haven't said how long until I find out the results, but the surgeon said he'll call me if it's something scary. The one on my hand was a blueish gray dot that started out small years ago and looked like just a pen mark that wouldn't wash off, and ended up growing to about a quarter inch diameter and sticking out of the skin. The one on my foot was a brown mole-type mark that popped up out of nowhere a couple of years ago and has grown to about 1/3 inch in diameter. The doctor today said that they say you shouldn't get moles on the bottom of your feet because they are hairless, so that's why it was a concern, plus they've both been increasing in size. So they removed them both just to be safe, and they will be tested for cancer. I am a little concerned because I used to use tanning beds a lot but stopped a couple of years ago when I read the research on them and how much they are linked to skin cancer. Hopefully I didn't do too much damage. Cancer in general runs in my family like crazy, but I don't know of anyone who has had skin cancer.

Oh my gosh! I woke up in sooooo much pain this morning. I should have woken up during the night to keep taking painkillers. Anyway, I've decided to stay home and rest on painkillers for the day. I'm not going into work, and I'm sure they will be upset about that. I was told yesterday that a new drafter is NOT being hired so I will have to just stay evenings and weekends to get work done. But I can't help this, I'm not going to make it worse by walking on it!
