Bonus points to the title’s reference. I’ll post a YouTube of the scene when someone correctly identifies the source - it cracks me up EVERY. TIME.
*edited to include*: Liv got the movie reference, and first thing in the morning, too!
As promised - pictures of my cranium, taken by my doctor, even!
Now you see ‘em:
and now you don’t!
The doctor said that I seemed to be healing exceedingly well - there’s minimal swelling and only a slight tinge of black and blue - though I’m still remarkably sensitive in that spot. When I asked her about that, she echoed what my EMT neighbor told me the other day; there was a fair bit of damage and trauma cutting the mass out (which, as everyone predicted, came back from pathology perfectly clear), and it’s going to take a while for the nerves and tissues in the hole to settle back down. I’m under strict orders to clean, moisturize and sunscreen (see, Kizz? You were right about the sunscreen!) and O’Mama is insisting that I use natural, organic stuff that she’s promised to secure for me in the near future (right, ‘Mama?).
I’m not sporting the Hello Kitty band-aids anymore, though I might plaster one on when I’m out: the vitamin E oil that I’m putting on the site makes my hair stick (and itch!) and, besides, the band-aids are cute.
Thanks for all the love and good wishes. I’m happy that this is almost over.
looking good isnt it? even if it doesnt feel good yet. I think you will have a tiny scar if at all. Hurrah.
Thanks for the video, made me smile…especially about the sunscreen. Darling daughter also has a teensy scar on her forehead in the same place where she ran into a slate fireplace at the age of two and managed to expose a good amount of bony skull. Her skin is very pale and delicate so I am always nagging about sunscreen. It is hard to find sunscreen that doesnt make you look as though you have just died though (pale unearthly mother of pearl sheen even under “american tan” flavour)…where was I? Oh I’ll go and write a post and ramble there instead…sorry
so i married an axe-murderer.
oh, baby!
hmmm I’m thinking that mainstream scientists are so stuck in their thinking that they should be scrutinized more than ever.
Take global warming, first it was serious because of carbon dioxide so you better go green and buy Gore’s movie then maybe it was the sun because Mars is warming up too, now we know that the whole solar system is warming up, even Pluto but that is moving away from the sun!
anyway, you’ll enjoy that scar for a long time, I had a similar one over my eyebrow from a car wreck and it remains barely 2 decades later! (I smashed out the windscreen with my head when the car wrapped around a tree, no seatbelt, yet I walked away with a black eye and that scar!)
I liked the movie but what is Heid?
A small scar will just add a bit of character. Nothing wrong with that at all. I’ve got a few more than my fair share of them.
what? you’re giving up the hello kitty band aids? can’t you just fake it and still wear them? i know i would.
I didn’t get to see your stitches - so COOL! Not that your scar isn’t cool…
Yeah, I’ll get you the nice organic and actually effective susncreen for your pretty boo boo. MWah.
That’s looking good!
Well, that doesn’t look too bad at all. And you can cover that with a wisp of hair until it fades away to nothing.
Those videos are a hoot, mon.
Heed! Move your melon!!
Light a match!!
If it’s not Scottish, it’s crrrrap!
How about silver dollar pancakes, bacon, fresh squeezed orange juice and kona coffee? Sorry, I don’t have any of those things.
this is absolutely one of my favorite films ever. I even bought the soundtrack.
And your own melon looks pretty darn good.
“Well, brutal’s a very subjective word. I mean, what’s brutal to one person might be totally reasonable to somebody else.”
Loooooooooove this movie!
Your melon looks like it will be heal just fine.
I still think you should have let me remove the stiches..
