Interesting thing is... lightning doesn't strike in the same location twice, but...

...somehow ear sores do?
My left ear that had been scratched in June and seemed to not want to heal no matter what with using over the counter topical medications that I had tried and so I ended up going to my internist to be told that I needed a dermatologist and more than likely a biopsy. And so I went and was told to try other OTC medications and when they didn't work within a few weeks my ear was biopsied and was found to be a non-cancerous lesion and then I was prescribed a stronger prescription topical steroid, which I was handed a sample to use.

It worked and from mid July until this October 5th, yes this past Monday my ear was fine, but not anymore!
So I started again this past Monday with polysporin and when it hurt more than anything I found the sample medication and tried that since Monday, but as of today it appeared worse, so I called the dermatologist's office and saw the PA this afternoon.
I was told to continue with this sample stronger medication for two more weeks and if it doesn't work this time then I might need an additional biopsy?
Yep, the PA said it could have missed the cancer by a not so silly millimeter, and so now I have another fun thing to add to my repertoire of things to distract me from wanting to enjoy life, but NO I won't allow it to... oh NO I cannot!
Worry is unhealthy so I must distract myself, but with what?
Any ideas?
Never mind my problem, my resolve.

On that note of que sera sera, allow me to be the very first to wish all of you a very happy good night and ask all of you 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!
