Running here running there, but did get it all done!

Today I had my followup left ear appointment.
The scratch that would not heal.
Two months later I did have it biopsied today as well as a funny looking discoloration on my left cheek, on my face folks, on my face, bud dump bum...
Interestingly enough is the fact that I had had that cheek biopsied due to a large bump on it years ago, a lump that was rounded in shape, removed and a stitch added into my face to add to the decor...I was upset by the scar it left, a pinching/hemming stitch, but not as severe as the 40 tiny ones, of a dog bite from around the year 2000, our collie/Shepard rescue from Hurricane Andrew circa 1992, all due to me accidentally rolling over his tail with my computer table chair and then bending down to check on him when he let out a chilling yelp, oops my bad!
GRRRRR GROWL OWE SNAP BITE!

Any-who, I now have two band-aids, one on my ear and one on my cheek due to today's dissolution of my too pretty, never a money maker face, but I exaggerate, don't I wish.

Well, the truth is it will take 12-14 business days to get the results of the biopsies back, and they will call me and I have been told not to call them, although I have been scheduled for surgery in two and half weeks that I was told can be cancelled if all is well!
Scary just the same, ya know.

It is the Mohs type of surgery that they do there for skimming the skin sliver,  layer by layer, while they test each as they go until they get clear perimeters.
Interesting and one I have not had before and hope I do not need to have it ever...!
  Vincent van Gogh has never been my imagery for myself, his talent would have been nice but not his symmetry of facial balance, if you know what I mean. Don't get me wrong he was a wonderful artist but not exactly someone I would want to emulate in his physical composition.(His was his right; ear that is.)

After the dermatologist's office I showed my new cards to my internist's office, my insurance cards a trifecta of sorts, Medicare, Colonial Penn supplemental and RX part D coverage to them, since they wanted them on file; although my latest prescription had been ordered on Tuesday from my new mail order company Humana Rx. A three months supply is now "0", zilch co-pay, when it was thirty dollars previously, imagine I have seven prescriptions, so it does add up! All are "0", now, hip hip hooray!

And they also have a lab so I had my blood work for the neuro done there.
Can you imagine how adorable I looked when going into to make my MRI appointment at that office after. A ear band-aid here and a facial cheek band aid there and a large PURPLE bandage around my left arm where the gauze was being kept in place from my blood being drawn, absolutely a cutie! How about that all on my left side, odd, when I am a rightie, who knows what that could possibly mean, huh?

On that questionable note left better to the answer gods wherever they reside, allow me to be the very first to wish all of you a very happy good night and ask you all to kindly count all your blessings and share all your overages with you know whom and we will too!

And next time please be here or be square, ya hear!

PS: How not to start one's day spilling your coffee on your laptop. How soon that savings is disappearing from my couple hundred a month of being on Medicare now! No new laptop as of yet, Hubby appears to be determined to fix it even after I did try first by cleaning it with alcohol and Qtips after dumping the brown liquid from its keys, and it did go back on but many keys did not work at all, so I shut it down and removed the "A" from where it was thinking to clean and dry it out like we have done with this older PC and it had worked, but I could not put the key back no matter how I tried. Hubby did successfully finally get it back and he is still working on it before we try to find out if it's worth the cost of fixing by some Geek Squad or trading it in for a newer model, less vulnerable to this woman's butterfingers! If things happen in threes, then we are DONE! First our recliners, then our phones now this? I sure hope so anyway. Not to mention my health stuff, but that's in a class all its own, ya gotta know that...priorities and all!
