The great mole ...

Yesterday, I decided to have a NEW experience. That is the spice of life right? New things?? Maybe it should be naps instead. I had to go to the opthomolgist, that is after seeing the dermatologist, and the optometrist ( and yes, glasses are on the way.) The Dr. I saw was really great- and as he examined my eye he asked if I had a cat- perhaps a white one, and then he took the cat hair out of my eye.... nice. Then he kindly informed me that the growth on my eyelid was most probably not the growth I knew as the mole of my childhood, but probably more in the wart family. What did you say??? Oh a WART?!?!? EWWWWWWW!!!! He explained that I could have gotten it from someone spitting on me while talking. What??? EWWWWWW!!!!! This isn't really going as I thought it might. I have had this thing formerly known as a mole as long as I can remember, and now I find out is is mostly likely a wart ?!?... great, it is official, I am a hag. Nice Dr. said he could remove it. The thing is, if I can avoid EYE SURGERY I would like to do so. Never having had eye surgery though I said well, lets do something new- lets take that sucker off and take me outta the hag category. Now, I know how much you all love it when I draw for you- so here is the before and after....

Now the part I did not draw for you was the super cool eye patch that I got to wear. Man were the other patients jealous of me.... as I bumped into chairs and partitions.... yup. That is me, wart hag with eye patch. I would also like to let you know that you can totally see the needle AND the scapel, and the goop that I have to put into my eye 4 times a day makes life blury, and cat hair sticks to it. Other than that I have to say Horray for new experiences! So how was your Monday?

Hi Tyn. A couple of months ago I went to the opto and when we were done she said would you like me to remove that cyst on your eyelid? The shots to deaden it hurt like hell. and when she took out the stitches. I'm glad I did it. In my mind I saw it hanging off my eye. Total hag stuff. I have to find my tweezers so I can pull out the hairs on my chin. Change of topic. I see that you will be teaching a print class. Tell me about it, plaease. I may not be around then..no, no, not dead..but I want to file all that stuff away. I think i told you that I have a couple of Gokko's and I want to get the big one going. Have a great week. I'll try to get to the 3 thursday. Nancy

What a funny post! Well, I'm sure the actual experience was less than funny, but you have a hilarious writing style :)

I'm loving your jewelry. You have such a great eye and talent for layering images.

Good luck with your class!

I haven't been here for a while, but after reading this I realise that I have to come back more often, I love your humoristic way of writing!
To bad I can't come and take one of your classes!
