Wotcha!!

Tuesday 3rd August

I'm in shock!!! Well not exactly shock, shock, but I'm in alot of pain!!
Woke up feeling really horrible due to this flu thing that I've got. My throat is quite raw now due to all the coughing......you get the picture!!

Okay so I go along to the Plastic Surgeon this morning for my consultation. Sit down, how do you do, what can I do for you type introduction. Show him the end of the nose with the little blob thing on it, mentioning what my doctor had said about maybe basal cell thing. He has a good look at it. I point out that there's another similar looking little lump on the other side just next to my nose.
So he decides on the spot that he's going to dig both of them out there and then!!! No, No, No I'm thinking, I'm not ready for this yet.

So I jump up on the bed in the little surgery that he's got tucked back behind his desk, lay down with very bright light in my face. He then manages to make me snivel and moan by sticking 2 needles in my face and nose....are you all cringing yet???? Then he gets this instrument that looks like a hole punch but is hollow, and proceeds to push it into my nose and pull said bump out. By this time of course I can't feel a thing as my nose is so numb that I can't even breathe properly. Then he proceeds to tell me that I'm going to bleed heavily for about 10 minutes and just to hold this gauze against the holes he's just made in my face!!!!

I'm so glad that Nick came with me, even if he did sit in the car to wait. I'm sure that he was very glad he didn't come into the office with me, as he's not very good with needles!!
Anyway once the bleeding slows down a bit, I get this clear sticky tape stuff stuck over the holes to stem any more bleeding. It did bleed a bit more once the sticky was stuck on my face and as it's now dried, it looks totally disgusting. I'm hoping to be able to soak it off with some warm water soon. Just a bit paranoid that I'm going to make it start bleeding again.

Nick has had his first attempt at doing the fire!! Here's the evidence - as you can see he's looking pretty happy with himself!!
