[NAFDA] Spike-centric discussion. Lusty, lewd (only occasionally crude), risqué (and frisqué), bawdy (Oh, lawdy!), flirty ('cuz we're purty), raunchy talk inside. Caveat lector.
ha Vortex!
So my appointment was a mixed bag. On the one hand, no long term health issues, but on the other, I've only escaped a scalpel temporarily. SURGERY (his word, not mine) is scheduled in a couple weeks. Oh and, while he's at it, he wants to BURN something off my face WITHOUT ANESTHETIC too.
Sorry to go all asscaps on y'all but yeowch!
WTF! Burn? No anesthetic?
Yikes, Burrell. But good that it's nothing long-term?
Burning could mean using liquid nitrogen or something with a local anesthetic. I had that done for an odd bump on my nose and some odd cells on my cheekbone--which I was annoyed by, 'cause I liked that birthmark. Nothing beyond getting rid of some stuff that wasn't a problem at the moment but wasn't serving any useful purpose.
WTF! Burn? No anesthetic?
Yep. Evidently it's a blood vessel thing, and local anesthetic constricts the vessels and makes it temporarily disappear. To make it go away, it needs to be burned without anesthetic. He says it hurts too. He tried to do it to himself at some point, but he couldn't stop flinching.
Burrell, I vote that your Dr. be renamed DR. TMI.
I can't stop laughing, Sox. I think that every time I see him.
Oh yeah. He also chided me for not coming to see him for the past four years. Whatev.
amyth, continued recovery~ma for your brother.
Yeesh, Burrell, never mind.
Always fun when the doctor says "I've had that, it's a bitch." As did my female doc re: a colposcopy.
Condolences to you and yours, Ginger.
{{amyth}} coping~ma to you, and hoping for the best possible outcome for your brother.
