Ouch!

That can be scary, I know your in suspence waiting for the results. Hopefully it's not cancerous.

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!

I'm so sorry, Lindsey. My daughter, Amy, had some plantar warts removed and it was very painful for her. The shots on the bottom of her feet were really bad. It' must be really sensitive there or something to do with the size of the needle. I'm glad to hear that it's all over and you're healing now.

I had a couple of spots removed the other day from my hand and arm because of skin cancer. One was dark brown and popped up. The doctor didn't like the looks of it so she just went ahead and took it off. I think that she just froze it will dry ice. It was very odd. I've noticed that I have some other spots that she probably needs to look at. It could be because when I was in high school no one had heard of sunscreen and we used just plain ol' baby oil!!! I must have "fried" myself!!! LOL

[Lindsey]

The doctor said the middle of the bottom of the foot, where I got the shot, isn't as bad as the heel but still pretty bad!

I hope your spots turn out to be nothing Diana. My mom used to use baby oil too! A few years ago she was telling me how I'd get such a nice tan using oil and I was like I don't want to beg for skin cancer!

I have an olive complexion and very rarely burn so I'm hoping I'm okay. The worst burn I've ever had was in Mexico this year and I burned EVERYWHERE and peeled for about 2 weeks!

I hope your foot feels better soon! Stitches on the bottom on your foot sound painful! I am sure it will come back benign.

They really need you at work! They can never fire you! I'm surprised they didn't bring the work to your house. Are you still taking Layla to work with you?
Sounds like you can do whatever you want there!

[Lindsey]

They definitely need me there! I'm considering asking about getting access to the network from home for times like this. I really do feel bad for not being there today but ultimately there SHOULD be more than one drafter there. I am allowed to get sick and go on vacation but every time I do I come back to a huge load of work. If, God forbid, I was in a car accident or something, or landed in the hospital for any reason, the company would be screwed. We hired an engineer from Arizona a few weeks ago and he can not BELIEVE that there is only one drafter. He talked to me about it and asked if I get really stressed out and I said "Oh yeah!" He has never worked in a place where engineers outnumber drafters like this. But I guess if I keep bending over backwards for the company to get things done, they're not going to change anything and I'll end up taking stress leave before I'm 30

I got my stitches taken out yesterday. I was supposed to have my hand stitches out after 12 days and my foot after 18 days. Yesterday was 14 days and I'm glad I got them all removed. In both my hand and my foot, the stitches were in so deep that they had to stick the scissors into my skin and snip some of the skin to snip the stitch. So that got me bleeding again!

My hand feels SO uncomfortable. When I type, the bones in my hand move with my fingers, and I can feel the scar tickling against the bones, like there's something in my skin, and it's just a sickening feeling for me. It's almost like fingernails on a chalkboard, I have to stop typing and press on my hand to make the "heebie jeebies" feeling go away.
