No sleep sucks. I knew it was coming and I'm only surprised it took so long to arrive again. Hello my old friend insomnia.
One good thing is the gym I joined opens it's doors at 4:30am so when I am not sleeping at least I have some place to go. Yes, I was doing cardio by 5am this morning.
Listening to your voice mail for the first time in 4 or 5 days and realizing you have a dermatologist appointment for a mole removal that you totally forgot about is a doubled edge sword. One the first side I didn't worry about it for weeks in advance (obviously I forgot about it). On the other side, I then worried all day until the appointment.
Speaking of the appointment. Three things of note happened at this appointment.
The first of which I observed a 70+ year old woman who came into the office today wearing a pair of skin tight pants that had ROCK ROYALTY printed on them across her ass. If you know me you know I am not a fan of anyone of any age wearing any kind of pants with writing across their ass, but this pushed me over the edge. Seriously.Unacceptable.Period.
The scheduled time for my appointment was 1:30pm, time I actually got in the procedure room 3:35pm. The following is an exchange between myself and the nurse on the way back to the room.
Nurse: "Finally, sorry this took a while."
Me: "It's okay."
Nurse: "It's good you didn't have anything else to do today."
Me: "Ah...yes, sorry but I did have other things to do today."
Nurse: "Oh you did? Oops."
Nice huh?
After consulting with the surgeon he decided to take two moles off my face instead of one. I never had it done before. Biggest surprise? Stitches, I never thought I'd have stitches. I go back next Wednesday here's hoping I don't sit there for another two hours.
2 days until my daughter graduates elementary school. It's gonna be a rough morning for me on Friday. I predict lots of tears being shed. The closing Mass is at 8:30, class dismisses at 10am. We are then going out for breakfast and then going to go shopping. Wait a minute....how did she get so grown up so fast?
Today I got the news that the doctors think my Dad's cancer has returned. Words cannot express how I have felt all day. After several phone calls I finally got all the news straight. He will go to a see a surgeon that his doctor has recommended for a consult and then the surgery (hopefully) will be very shortly after that appointment. I'm hoping for the best.

I am very sorry to hear of your dad's cancer.
*HUGS* Sorry things are so stressful and I will be sending positive thoughts your way.
I did have to laugh though at "ROCK ROYALTY printed on them across her ass" WTF! I wish you'd taken a picture!
I hate waiting for the doctor!
I am sorry to hear about your dad. I will think of you and your family this weekend while we walk for Relay for life. It will give me motivation to walk.
Oh, honey, I am so sorry to hear it is your dad's cancer has come back.
When you see your Dermatologist ask him if you can start putting Mederma where the moles removed. It really does help prevent scarring.
I am sincerely hoping that today is easier and that you get some good news soon. Hugs to you,lovely.

Am here for WHATEVER you need, my dear friend.
I'm sorry to hear about all the stressful stuff. ((hug))
I'm so so so sorry to hear all of this. I've had stuff removed from my face. The stitches are freaky and it feels so BIG and so NOTICEABLE. Being a little internally dramatic, I usually convince myself that I will look like some crazy thing or another. But,a month from now, you'll never know you had it done - just keep your sunscreen on it.
I'm soooo sorry about your father. Gosh. I had calls like that and the confusion and horror is untenable. I will keep him, your family in my thoughts and prayers.
Keep your chin up, but don't forget to put sunblock on it.
*HUGS* all around. I know I'm commenting late, but I am still sorry about the sucky parts!
Congratulations to your little one. What a milestone!
My love and prayers to you. First, for you to receive good news. Second to tween as she grows and matures and becomes a young lady. Thirdly, for your father. I hope you receive good news there, too. I love you.
