Yesterday I got punched in the nose. Ok not exactly literally like you are thinking...but sort of. I went to the dermatologist and got a 'punch biopsy' of a suspicious mole right on the upper middle part of my nose. I left her office looking like a got a nose job- straight out of L.A. -big old white bandage and all.
It was my 2nd time to the dermatologist recently and probably my 15th Dr. visit this year. It has been quite medical fiasco of a year for me so far- nothing like meeting that deductible by February! I've been taking charge of my own health for a while now (because if you don't who the f* is going to?) or maybe I'm a little bit of a hypochondriac but sometimes I think better be that than the opposite. So now I've been punched and my nose is a little sore but I am resting easier knowing I've taken care of the threat of skin cancer at least for now. Oh yeah, and if you haven't been to a dermatologist for your annual skin check- make an appointment- NOW! Seriously, why wouldn't you?
