I have to be there by 7am so at least I should be home by noon - 1 pm I would think.

For those of you who may not know, i am having a mole removed. Its on my bikini line on my left leg and heads east (not giving any other descriptions) LOL. HBPuppy calls it "down south" so I call it that now too. haha Anyway, the dermatologist wants it off and she had me go to a surgeon and he is also wanting it off. Said its very irregular and will send it off to make sure it isn't cancerous or anything. He is pretty sure its not but we need to be safe for sure.

I am wanting this whole thing over with and get on with my weekend. I will report when I can or Ellie can call me and get the scoop. I imagine I will be sleeping most of the day tomorrow after its over but who knows. Maybe I will be ready to stamp! LOL I doubt that.

Ok, well .. I am sure I will be on later tonight just to keep myself busy.

Don't miss me too much and Erin, I expect a full report when I get back.

Sherri, as I was reading your post I was chucking -- since you live in NC I think of you LIVING down south -- so your personal geography makes it even funnier! Good luck tomorrow! I'm sure it will go smoothly. You'll have to post a picture of yourself IN a bikini when you are all recovered... :-)

Sherri does not live Down South, she lives Up North.

Anyhow I hope it goes really well, will you be on your feet Saturday? I'd think at least two days of rest? I hope I'm wrong and it's super quick. Is Charlie taking you? Let us know how you are doing.

Why only ellie can call you? I can't call you?

Sherri - good luck tomorrow. We'll miss you. Take good care of yourself and hurry back when you can. Remember, chatting while under the affects of anesthesia may be hazardous to your health :)

Good luck to you Sherri!
Believe it or not, many people have them in that area. The OB's I work with lance them off after delivery while people are still numb! :err:
Crazy lookin things!
Hope youre back on your feet soon :D

I wish mine could be just "lanced" off. That doesn't sound as bad as being "cut".

Swanie78
05-24-2007, 05:34 PM
Lanced/cut...same thing ;) Still leaves an area requiring a couple of stitches and a scar.

Oh I thought lanced meant "scraped". Now you know why I am in nursing field. ha ha

Well, technically I think lanced means its lasered off, but I think it sounds better medically, so I use in place of "removed" lol

Best wishes that it goes quickly and you have NO pain afterward! And of course, that it is nothing to worry about.

but I plan to send more. Up North, my doctor told me "everything we cut off your body gets sent away to be analyzed"=== I'm sure it's just a precaution--while you're resting, you can be busy thinking of ideas for your next stamping projects--try to not think about it and it will be over before you know it. Prayers and hugs Patty:)

Best wishes for tomorrow and a speedy recovery!

As I was coming out of anesthesia after my thyroid surgery last year, I heard a nurse mispronounce my last name--so even though I could barely talk, I was croaking "Grah-bow! It's pronounced Grah-bow!" I was still a little goofy!:err:
