Over the last couple weeks, before school ended and our insurance with them was up, i was contemplating to go to the doctor. I had this mole on my arm that was not usually there so i decided to go to the doctor. The doctor was examining it and he said it looked different than my other moles but it does not look like we need to remove it. As i was sitting there, the doctor gave me the option of either removing it, or just track the mole and see if there was any growth or etc. I decided to get it removed because our insurance with the university will expire and i wanted to just get it removed. It was either remove it, or just watch it, i chose to remove it. I was so scared, but luckily he numbed the pain and all was okay; he gave me a needle injection to numb the pain. He stuck the needle in and i automatically was saying, "it is not numb, are you sure you did it right. I don't think you did this right". If by now you have not caught it, i am terrified of needles and pain. The doctor comes and pokes my skin and i obviously did not feel anything. He then begins to cut my arm and remove the tiny mole. Weeks pass before i get the results from that mole back. He calls me and says that the lab wants him to remove more skin just to be sure the whole mole is gone. There was nothing wrong with it, they just want him to be sure he got it all. The doctor apparently cut so close to the mole they do not think he got it all. The size of the mole was a tenth of a size of a penny. Really small. I then had to go back to the doctor and he then had to cut more out. This time, i brought back up. I made Chris come with me, hold my hand, and talk to me. As the doctor stuck me with a needle, i told him, "You have ten seconds to give me a needle and then get it out, 10.9.8.7.6.5.4.3.2.1". There i am, still counting and Chris is saying "ten more seconds, ouch does that hurt". I am freaking out, the doctor is laughing and Chris is on the floor laughing. Apparently, the doctor took like 5 seconds and i thought the needle was still in there, so i am freaking out! After they had there laughs and giggles, the doctor started to cut the old stitches out, and cut around my skin. i watched some t.v shows on netflix at this point. After he stitched me, my arm was numb and in pain for the rest of the day. On that day, it was Chris's graduation and my dress was blue, the bandage was pink; it was a major fashion faux paw. haha I enjoyed walking around in my nice blue dress and then my bright pink bandage, i had many eye glances. Overall, i am so thankful that i went to the doctor and that Chris
was there to hold my hand!
