On the left is a photo of me just about a week ago and on the right is a photo of me two years ago. In these two photos there are a lot of differences, but the one causing all the fuss is this:
I get it, I get it. Some of you are thinking: "What is all the fuss about?" Well, even though the pictures don't detail it well, what was a small freckle/mole started growing and turned into a freckle/mole with a cyst underneath it. I was starting to look like the wicked witch of the west but what is more, the cyst was growing down and causing pressure on the nerve that runs across my jaw bone. Every time I washed my face, every time I answered the phone, every time I kissed The Hubs at the right angle, a zing of pain and numbness shot through my chin.
So, people are staring because now I look like this:
The thing was causing serious pain and discomfort okay?! I get that the band aid looks funny, but would you rather see this?
I'm sorry that I look a little bit like the Bride of Frankenstein, but please try to make eye contact. Staring at my band aid while I help you at my front counter in such a blatantly obvious way is rude. Seriously. On a side note, my stitches are clear. How cool is that? Hopefully this heals in a way that isn't quite as ugly....hopefully.
still sexy!
