lump lump go away...

hee, seems like i'm having lotsa "medical" problems nowadays... i'm a problematic child.

just went for a minor surgery y'day to remove a keloid on my left ear lobe. i had an ear piercing long time ago and it got a little infected at some point. being the vain pot as i am, i continued to put on and take off earrings. so the infected area grew a tiny little lump and the tiny little lump soon grew to a not-so-tiny-little-lump after... took years before i took action. got referred to ENT specialist to get it removed.

thot was a very simple surgery but it came with the full works... little surgery theatre, surgical gowns, attending surgical nurse and those scary looking surgical tools... plus they made me lie in the freezing theatre for so long while waiting for the doctor to come! started getting the jitters when the doc finally arrived. luckily they covered my head, leaving only the ear exposed. after a few painful injections, my ear was numb. can't feel anything but was still rather nervous. the doc told the nurse to gel my hair back with KY jelly and even jokingly said she can use the whole tube and i won't be charged for it! hmmm, so tt's wat KY jelly is for huh??? kekekek...

in all, the surgery took half hour or so. saw the removed keloid and it was gross!!! ew...

the pain came in after the anaesthesia wore off... and it was still bleeding a bit... next week gonna go back to remove the stitches... can't wait for it to heal so that i can look at my lump-free ear again!!!
