I Could have Lost A Limb!!

I went to the Doc's office last week because I had a mole that itched and then stung when I scratched it.  I hate moles.. they are pesky little wart like wanna-be's!
I get in fairly quickly which is not normal.  Usually there is a long wait.  When I get back to the room my doctor comes is like right away with the big gun.  I am getting excited thinking that I can get rid of some of these things,  however, she looks at my mole and says ... "hmmm  I don't know what that is!"

Me: "Really?  Your a doctor,  your suppose to know what this is."

Doc: "No I will cut it out and send it off to have a biopsy done to it."

Okay wait... what?  Where's the gun?  Use the gun!
Me:  "So basically it is slow today and you are bored?"

Doc:  "Yeah I need to make more money today and you have insurance right?"
She goes on to explain,  "What I will do is make a small incision and cut it out and then stitch you up.

She leaves and comes back with a shot.
Doc:  "I am going to numb the area in here, and then take you to the procedure room."

Me: "You expect me to walk after you give me a numbing shot?"

Doc: "It's only going to numb your shoulder."
So she tells me... "This shot is gonna sting."

Well that makes no sense!  Give me a shot so I don't feel anything but the shot is going to sting? What kind of rinkydink outfit are you running here!?!?!

After she SLOWLY gives me this stinging shot... which I think she rather enjoyed... she has me walk
to the "Procedure room" where she hands me a clipboard  with a piece of paper on it.
Doc: "Here sign this. It basically says you can lose your life, but allows me to do this anyway."

Oh!!  Is that all!  Where's the pen?!?!

I hold my arm sleeve out of her way and I guess she cuts on my arm.  Apparently the stinging shot works, cause I really couldn't feel anything.

Then I hear her say... "Well crap!  Stupid me!"

This is NOT something I really want to hear when someone is cutting on my arm, especially if I can't feel it.  I could be losing a limb right now and not even know it!!!

Me: "What?"

Doc: "I set the tool I need down over there when I wasn't done with it."

Me: "Can't you reach it?"

Doc: "Yes, but now it isn't sterile."

Me: "Well... I did sign that paper....."

Doc:  "True!....."

I tell her that I had not come to the doctor to be cut on.  And that I had not had stitches since I was a new born.  So I would like a lot of stitches... so I can play the sympathy card all day and get stuff done for me at home. :)

Doc: "How many do you want?"

Me: "Twenty two!"

Doc: "I can give you three!"

Me: "Okay!  That'll work!"

I get to go next week to get the stitches out and find out the results.  Then I hope to have her remove more of these pesky things with a gun this time!!

Some Parents are Stupid! And You Can't Fix Stupid!

This post is dedicated to this article.  http://moms.popsugar.com/Should-You-Teach-Kids-Share-27333250

Its ridiculous is what it is. This woman's views are to teach kids to take care of number one! That no one else matters. Don''t worry about hurting someones feelings. I would never allow my child to ride around in a community toy car and not say.. "ok, lets play with something else so we give another little boy a chance to play in this one". She is teaching her child to be selfish! now I do see if it is YOURS and you brought it to the park to play with, but if you are going to meet friends there, bring extra! I do agree that children should learn the world does not revolve around them, but the kid that is learning that is the kid that doesnt'' get to play with the toy. The kid that has the toy thinks the world DOES revolve around him. At home you dont'' have t share your toys, but when you are at a daycare, you should because they are not YOUR toys. There are steps to teaching children things, and sharing is one you learn at an early age. Get real... this lady has LOST IT!

When we took Matthew to the derby when he was little.. he always brought a crap ton of cars to bang into each other... his little friend brought a crap ton too. Between the action the boys would sit and play with their cars. Now if Matthew didnt'' bring any toys, Tay would have shared. Its just common curtesy. And I have allowed several people to borrow all kinds of things from me. I was taught to share as a young girl... so now, I want to help others when they need it. That is what sharing teaches you. It is a BASE step for compassion.  It just teaches children to be nice to one another and to treat them the way they want to be treated.

Stink Eye Received

Dennis turns the freaking channel just as I sit down to watch TV.    he does this all the time and all weekend he has pretty much had control of the TV.  But this time, I give him the stink eye

Dennis:  "What?"

Me:  "Hey!  I was watching that!"

Dennis:  "Yah.. 'Was".   I was just flipping through channels waiting for my show to come back on."

Me:  "You always do that!  You can't control all the TV's in the house."

Dennis:  "Yes I can!  This is my castle."

*Insert another stink eye here*

Me:  "It's not just YOUR castle....."

Dennis:  "But I am the King!"

Me:  "Well, I am the Queen."

Dennis:  "Exactly!  You come in second to the King!"

Why Are Their Bodies In The River???

Our Group before climbing up 7 stories of stairs...

I have a bucket list. There are things on this list that I will never be able to do, cause let's face it... I'm a poor white girl!   But when I do find things on that list that I CAN do... I should do them, right?

I am afraid of heights.  So why would one of my bucket lists be Zip Lining?  Cause I'm Retarded, that's why!

I saw my friend's pictures of her and her husband zip lining in Colorado and I instantly was jealous!


Raven:  "Why don't we do that?"

Dennis:  "Because we are smart!"

I find out there is a zip line place in OKC... how I missed this I will never know, but I began my tirade of bugging the crap out of Dennis until he said he would take me.  Mind you, he did not say he would do it.  Only that he would take me.  But in reality, I DID need someone to hold my shit and take pictures.  Thanks Dennis for being a chicken!  If he wasn't going to go then I had to enlist others.  It's no fun to experience these things alone.  Plus I needed someone up there to talk me into actually doing it!  So I asked our neighbors and our daughter and her fiance to come with me.  They were all up for the challenge!

The first part of the journey is walking up to the zip line which is like 80 ft up in the air.  And the steps are on the outside so it is like 14 stories step wise.  I have to stop and rest a few times, taking in the view, which was beautiful, but there was no railings and the higher I got the more freaked out it made me to be close to the edge.  I became a pole hugger!  Not my prouder moments!

Anyway, I get to the top and I am third in line with our group.  Ben keeps trying to hang over the edge and it stressed me out!  I threatened to spank him a few times which had no effect on him what so ever.  He even leaned further out with a grin on his face!

I got the "frillies" a few times, but I was not going to be swayed from my 1400 feet zip line experience.  Determination!  Plus after I walked up 7 flights of stairs I was too exhausted to walk back down them! So I asked the girl who was all up in my personal space as she was harnessing me up how deep  the river was that was under us... you know a Plan B...in case I fell.....  She said,  "Not too deep."

Great!  So much for plan B!  If I fall I will just die two horrible deaths.  Drowning and splattering!

Then she tells me that they had just gotten the rest of the dead bodies out of there so at least I didn't have to worry about running into anyone.

Silence.........
*blink blink*

What?!

She harnesses me up, and before I could think about it, I heard Ben say.  "Just don't look down." And I walked off the edge!  Have you ever walked off a edge?  Freedom and STUPID were the only two words I was thinking!

I was flying over the river.. in a somewhat uncomfortable harness still concerned about why there were dead bodies in the river to begin with when I saw Dennis down below me with the flash of a camera.  I wanted him to get a good shot, but all I could think of was..... if I spit, would it hit him?

 ......And then the wind turned me around making me fly backwards!

Me and Katie after we were done.

Okay, so what could be worst then flying... by a string... over body infested waters?

Flying backwards, by a string, over body infested waters and not being able to see if you were fixing to fly into the building you were hurdling towards!

At the other side when we change lines and go back to the landing dock... if you can call it that...I have to get my bearings.  They make me walk up more stairs and then after he hooks me up again tells me to walk off these steps that just lead to no where...  Like a plank on a pirates ship.   I was tired and needed to rest a second but Ben comes in behind me ready to plow me over and says... "You haven't gone yet!"  Cheeky boy!

All and all it was a fun experience.  Next time, I will have a Plan C though cause that whole body in the rivers conversation will haunt me.
