I was in the regular office for the "procedure," but I was in the back creepy room. I walk in to a room that has the windows boarded up, a dental chair, and all the tools laid out ready to go. Seeing this is not comforting. I got a little shaky to be honest, and the shaky didn't really stop until about an hour after I left.
The during wasn't painful, and the assistant, who I love, totally distracted me by talking about anything and everything. It was helpful, but when you can see the "thread" being tightened about two feet above you, its kind of hard to ignore. Why that much thread was required, I have no idea. The doctor cut out the old scar since it was huge. He is hoping that the new scar will form better since my body isn't going through chemo, I should be more prepared to handle it. When the numbing stuff wore off I was definitely sore last night. I took some good drugs and went to bed early. I feel much better today, but still definitely achy. I again am not supposed to lift my kids, throw a softball, or swing a bat. I suppose I should have thought of this before I got it taken out, but I stupidly thought I would be fine. I wish they would have realized that I am an idiot when they scheduled it and talked to me more about what I wouldn't be able to do after the fact. I started helping the JV softball coach on Monday, then Tuesday I got to show up and tell her I can't really do anything. How helpful am I!?
The good news, the very good news is that ITS OUT! One more thing to cross of the list.

"One more thing to cross of the list". Almost have an empty list! Wow! Long 6 months huh?
I know this is bad, but I kinda like how organized everything is on the 'creepy' table - scissors all lined up by size, tweezers side by side with two of them pointed north and two pointed south (I'm sure this is because they are different sizes), and all the little gauze-y stuff stacked neatly on the end. I think it might be a math thing. However, my students thought it all looked like Bride of Frankenstein stuff. I must be a terrible teacher for them to not see the 'patterns' :).
