Greetings, loyal Bitterites!

Okay, before the smoldering flesh, game night: Enjoyable! I didn't get killed! You know, there's something positively relaxing about playing the spear carrier in a party full of demi-gods. Primarily, no one is trying to kill you.

Indian place I wanted to get dinner from is still not open. Unfortunate. So I got Burger King.

I'd like to see some supermodels naked for supporting the war, just in the interest of fairness.

So, yes. Today! Today, I had a couple doctor's appointments to do. First off was some blood work for my family phsycian. Then, off to the dermatologists!

The worst part was the waiting room. Okay, no. But that would be getting ahead of myself.

Eventually, I got in to see the Doctor. I held up my ever bulging thumb and mentioned the general prognosis of it being a wart.

But no! cautioned the Doc. It's actually a Hema... Hemmaaaa... Blood thingy. I don't know the technical term, but it was gonna be messy if I didn't just get the damn thing taken care of.

So I did!

The operation was very simple. A quick needle (quick meaning taking forever, needle meaning harpoon), a snip and a dig (hold that cotton, thank you), and a quick electrical cauterization.

That's when Justin flambe came on the menu. The device worked very interestingly, and the sight of your own skin being crisped is quite interesting, when it's completely anesthatized.

There's now a hole in the skin on my thumb, about four milimeters in diameter, with blackened edges. I'm replacing bandages regularly.

The actual doctor's checkup was much less eventful. As it stands, she doesn't feel it's likely anything terminal, but hey, we're gonna check anyway.

Work was weird. It was only a half shift, but it was the last half of the shift, so I felt like I'd missed something.

Oh, yeah. And I'm officially fucked on that book I wrote for. Anyone wanna toss me a few thousand words out of pity? I type fast.

Hematoma.

Used to be every second case on old doctor shows was a subdural hematoma. That's on the brain.

Sounds unpleasant, but hope that now it heals up and becomes a distant memory.

Nope. Hemangioma. Very minor one (but DARN annoying).

Checking out the internet, it can be quite unpleasent. Of course, it should also occur in infants.

Odd. But gone!

May it always stay gone.

Not fun! I wonder how it got started in the first place. Oh well, hopefully that's the end of your thumb woes.

I asked the doctor if it could be a result of too much xbox, and he looked at me as if I'd grown a second head.

Now I'm afraid of what your hand looks like.
