Eeek!

I already wrote this once - I seem to be having that trouble a lot, lately.

Anyway, this has been a busy medical week for me. Today was dermatology day. I had a full body check a few weeks ago and I mentioned that I have a few plantar warts. Not a sexy thing, but something that needs to be addressed. I don't mind seeing my dermatologist as he is a very attractive guy. It's amazing what a pretty guy can talk me into.

I don't miss my yearly checks. I am a redhead with very light skin who has had a lot of sunburns in my life and has had skin cancer twice. This doctor is fairly new to me. I used to see a lady, but she retired. 

Today he had an intern with him, and she was really nice. She will be a good doctor. She didn't seem to have sympathy pains, but was interested in the process.

Having liquid nitrogen (I think that is what he uses) sprayed on your feet hurts. It really does hurt. But I tolerate it because he is so cute, right? He had told me after the first treatment that I would probably have trouble with my daily walks, but I went home and walked. I didn't have any issues from the treatment once it was over.

After beating up my feet today, he asked if I have any other concerns. I jokingly mentioned that after he burned my face off last year (deep chemical peel - medically required, not my choice) all the lines in my forehead were gone. I said I now have one line back.

He and the intern looked at each other. Then they looked at me. They said, simultanteously, "Botox!"

I said, "EEEK!"

Honestly, he was right. It hurt a lot less than having my feet frozen. I barely felt any of the five shots.

          Suzy, I thought you were pretty in your pictures without the Botox.  If it makes you feel more comfortable about yourself, that's fine, but you're pretty without it.  

Best Wishes,

Oh, botox, who do you think you are missy, some Hollywood hussie?

I hate my dermatologist, he looks like the father from American Pie, and I have no idea what language he speaks.

Skin Cancer, eek!

I had botox a few months ago, but it's now worn off and I can't wait to save up enough money to do it again!  Great stuff and it didn't hurt a bit with those tiny needles!  Lisa
