Always on my toes . . .

So Spring Break is here except as usual it doesn't feel like a break. I have gone non-stop, or so it feels. I have gotten to spend time with a few of my friends and family but not as much as I like. Friday when I got home I had a doctor's appointment (What else is knew?!) then I went to my cousins house and hung out all night. I was in bed by 10:30 and slept a good 11 and a half hours. It was about time - I haven't had a good night sleep in God only knows how long. Saturday I had to be at a testing site to take the teacher's licensure exam for the third time - I'm thinking that I possibly (FINALLY) passed it; or at least half of it. Then I babysat for awhile. I love babysitting my little cousins, they are adorable and I love spending time with them. Sunday I spent visiting my Nana in her Nursing home and then going to see my Grandpa in his new living "community." It was great to see both of them since I hadn't since before I left for school. On Monday I worked til 3:30 but then had a doctor's appointment and left early. That was when it all took a turn for the worse. Before I had gone back to school I had a dermatologist appointment and she found two moles on my stomach that looked abnormal to her so she took biopsys of them. A few days later I got a phone call saying that the results came back showing they were abnormal and I needed to make an appointment to have them removed. That was yesturday's appointment. I went in and had an excision done on two of the atypical moles on my tummy. The doctor told me that on a scale of 1 to 10 for precancerous moles and 10 being the worst - I had about a 9/9.5! He said that he doesn't usually remove two in one day but because they were SO bad he needed to get them out. And he did . . . It was possibly the most painful thing I have ever experienced and as most of you know my body as gone through the ringer a few times. He used 8 needles of novicaine betweent he two moles and injected each one atleast 6 times. Not only that but he did it fast . . . and HARD! My mom couldn't even watch. That was probably the worst of it until today. I have 8-12 stitches in each one and they hurt. I've taken tylenol and some other pain killer and then he prescribed me with Tylenol 3. I went into work late this morning and left early. Let me tell ya, I'm so sick of being sick.

My doctor told me exactly what it was that caused my precancerous moles - it was the tanning bed. The tanning bed my mom warned me over and over to not pay for. Now I'm really paying for it. My stomach is still covered in moles. Moles that next week he will examine again and determine what needs to be done about them.

As always my friends have been my backbone. Even though what went on yesturday wasn't a huge deal they were still there for me last night. Friends from all over =)

Other than that the past week or so hasn't been too eventful. Theres a new boy =) who makes me really really happy. He's different than the rest have been and I plan on keeping him around for awhile. I like him a lot.

My sister needs the computer now and I need to go start enjoying my spring break - See you soon!
