I had a sebaceous cyst removed from my head this morning, so that was exciting. The doctor called me a 'good girl' twice, and said I was very brave. I wanted to point out I was 38 and not 12, but actually it was kind of comforting.
He numbed my head and then there was a lot of pressure and muttering about needing the non-toothed scissors, which the nurse did not possess. Then more muttering and more pressure, and then he said "Haha! I got it all." Then the weird dragging dead feeling of having numb skin stitched. That was the worst thing.
Now I have vast dressing stuck to the side of my head, and a new bald patch.
After that, Mr Lux walked me home in case I had a funny turn, and left me on the sofa watching the Olympics.

I get those rotten things on the scalp too. Usually I leave them alone and they leave me alone, but I've had to have two of them removed because they got inflamed. One of the docs really had The Touch, and it hardly hurt at all and only needed one stitch. The other was more in the mode of your doctor, and I was shaking like the proverbial leaf by the time he'd finished. I'm surprised they had to cut away that much of your hair, though - mine was left pretty much alone in both cases.

Lately I'm getting more and more hooked on the Olympic games... all that bare skin, sculptured bodies, awesome feats and raw emotion... addicting.

Date: 2008-08-21 05:40 pm (UTC)Yes yes. The raw emotion and hot bodies are extremely conducive to fic writing, I find. They put me in the right state of mind.

Actually Rafa might be too exciting right after surgery. Maybe I'd better keep him, no?
