My appointment turned out to be both good and bad. Good: She
doesn’t think it looks cancerous down there. She said something about cancer
being raised and bleeding but I have nothing like that. Just very red and
irritated-looking.
Bad: I’m not getting better. A study of 6 patients on Tacrolimus
were all cured after a year but I don’t think I’m any different than the last
time I saw her.
My records from Dr. Hottie finally made it to her but the biopsy
she did simply stated something about an enlarged hair follicle. Yeah, she
may’ve been a hottie but she definitely wasn’t a great doctor. She misdiagnosed
me on a few things.
Anyway, since I’m still burning and itching, she recommended a
biopsy to be absolutely certain it really is LS and that they’re not missing
anything that could explain why I’m not responding to treatment. They’ll
contact me in a couple of weeks with the results and on how to proceed from
there. For now, I can treat it with Tacrolimus, hydrocortisone and Tucks as
needed. Just not on the biopsy site.
This biopsy went much easier than when the hottie doc did it. Amy
applied a numbing cream before shooting me. Hottie just shot me straight up
with nothing. Now that the numbness has abated it sort of feels like
something’s pinching me there but nothing that’s got me running for the
Ibuprofen as of yet. Not much bleeding either. Once again, though, the pool
will be delayed. I’m not even going to work out today.
Grabbed an Eucerine sample on the way out. I know Aly likes it
but I find it too greasy.
Will probably get permanent pit removal someday but not the Mona Lisa Touch.
An ambulance was pulling away from next door right as I was
glancing out front at around 8:30 this morning. I stepped outside to see a lady
pig in a cruiser sitting in front of our place and another cruiser just past
where the ambulance had been. My first thought was that Virginia was taken away
but their SUV was in their garage and I later heard someone dragging the trash
bin in back after it was dumped. Maybe she just didn’t go with them this time.
Tom just went to get the mail and saw them cleaning out Ralph’s
oxygen equipment, so my guess is he’s not coming back. I had a feeling about
that too, what with the way the paramedics were coming around so often. I won’t
miss his blasting TV at night but I really hope the house doesn’t go up for
sale while we’re still here since that could very well mean getting someone
with a motorcycle or other loud vehicle that comes and goes regularly which
would be worse. Again, old people just aren’t what they were in the 80s and
before. These days they’re almost as annoying as the young folks.
The smart plug my rainbow lamp was plugged into that I use in
the bedroom when I’m working at my desk in there went out, so we ordered a new
one.
