STRANGER IN THE MIRROR

Tuesday, July 03, 2007

At 8:30 this morning when I went into the doctor’s office I had two small growths (thingies) on my nose—one on each side. They were small—very small, but one of them looked liked a pimple—ugly little thing.

When I came out of the office at 9:30 I had two skin colored band aids on my nose—one on each side. When I look in the mirror I still see myself but I look a little stranger than usual. My doctor says I will now go through stages. First comes the band aids and then the ugliness of the burns on each side of my nose where he cauterized the “wounds.”

I had another “thingie” removed at the same time. It was on a different part of my body. I lay on my back for the nose job and on my stomach for the __ __ __ __ job.

Today I’m writing about what’s on my mind and what’s no longer on my nose and __ __ __ __.
