How I learned to stop worrying and love U of M dermatology:
It occurs to me today that I never got around to posting about my biopsy thing on Weds. Sorry about that. My dear friend ![[profile]](https://www.dreamwidth.org/img/silk/identity/user.png)
uterdic drove me to University of Michigan dermatology so they could look me over and see how much cancer I have. Once I found out that they weren't just going to look at my splotchy head, I requested a chick doctor. No worries, I got a chick intern and a chick doctor. Cool. They also had a robe that actually fit me. I gotta tell you, I was pretty impressed. There's a lot of talk about how people are so fat and docs don't even know how to give them a physical--but these chicks were awesome.
They were concerned about 3 different spots, including my forehead. Apparently my perpetually itchy spot on my back is a cause for concern--all this time I've been blaming my bra. They took a few samples and sprayed some liquid nitrogen on me. It was totally Sci-fi. They will call me within 2 weeks to tell me how much cancer I have and what they're going to do about it. H bought the last box of band-aids, and they have Hello Kitty on them. So I have had Hello Kitty in the middle of my forehead. It's pretty hilarious until someone asks me why it's there. I either have to lie, or explain that I had a biopsy. If you've ever heard me interviewed (or know me in RL), you'll know that knowing what NOT to say is not my strong suit.
NaoWriMo starts soon. Let the douchery begin! There are a lot of things that irk me about the NaNo, most of which are detailed here by one James L Grant. The fact of the matter is that I get a shitload of writing done during the NaNo, and I need to do that but quick. My publisher is offering me a 2012 release date for The Finster Effect if I can get it done by next summer. Of course, if my Kindle release doesn't happen next week like it's supposed to, that decision will be made for me.
If you have not been reading my stuff at Zombie Zone News, you totally should be. I have reviews coming up of Diary and Survival otD (I need to be specific about the hows and whys of the suckage). The guy who runs things over there is pretty nice, so I am pleased. Also, stoked as hell for The Walking Dead.

(Anonymous) 2010-10-23 04:38 pm (UTC)(link)I think a Hello Kitty band-aid on your forehead is hilarious. But it really really makes me wish I had sent you THESE...
I think I shall anyway, as your birthday is coming up and I don't think I ever get you anything. It's high time I do! Sorry to ruin the surprise... ;)

Having some skinny blonde spray my face with liquid nitrogen was kinda weird.

The doc gives me the full Prize Cow Lookover and mentions she'll remove the ones I asked about just to be safe (since cancer runs in my family), but the ones she's actually concerned about were the one on top of my head under my hair, and one directly between the cheeks of my ass, neither of which I had any inkling existed.
So now I'm officially on watch for Ass Cancer. This never fails to crack me up completely, no matter how bad my day is.
