This afternoon I had a dermatologist appointment. Dermatologist and my family… well let’s say I think there has only been ONE time a mole hasn’t been removed from someone’s body during a visit! SO I went in there fully knowing that there would be needles, pricking and cutting going on! My family (mostly my mom) has been asking me for about a year, maybe longer, to get this terrible mole removed off my back. I meant to do it 6 months ago… but pushed it off because I knew what “getting it looked at” entailed.
It turns out my mom was right; when the doctor looked at it he said it was a good thing she made me do it. He told me he would remove the two moles and took off what he could see and sent it out for testing. It wasn’t as bad as I expected it to be, I’m pretty darn proud of myself. However, he is pretty sure that I will have to come in for a deeper extraction. I should know more in two weeks, but all-in-all, it wasn’t that bad!
As I was driving home and talking to my sister-in-law Tara, I began to feel something wet and warm on my lower back. I reached back to feel what it was and pulled out my hand only to discover that my little band-aid was not holding back the bleeding! I said “Tara, I’ve been shot!” I couldn’t see anything but a blood stain on my seat, but I also knew my clean white shirt had a huge blood stain right where the mole had been removed.
I quickly got off the phone with her and showed up at my friend/babysitter/TRAINED EMT’s house!!! I slowly got out of the car… she asked me what was wrong and then I slowly turned around. She gasped told me to come in and she would clean me up. I told her the first thing she needed to do was take a picture because this would be a killer blog post! (Can you believe THAT was what was on my mind!?!?)
Look at all the BLOOD!
Ok… I need to go take some Tylenol, now!

OUCH! Dang it. I hate needles too!
Looks like you have an excuse to go shopping now, though!
just be glad you don't have to give yourself shots...i speak from experience...pretty dang freaky.
sorry about the shirt! that's not cool!
you seriously look like you've been shot! oh dear....
and my dear, I don't think that stain will be coming out of that shirt...or your car seat :( Oh boy...
Ugh! No fun - I wish I had some grand tip to share about getting blood out of a shirt. (If it's ever chocolate, I got ya covered!) And yes, totally cried at Up! So sweet and so sad - my hubby and I are going on a road trip in a few weeks and it's like our own little adventure.
Oh my goodness....I would have freaked!
Hope everything is better now!
yea you are definitely going to have to throw away that shirt... haha... no amount of bleach or vinegar or anything else is gonna remove that. ugh this is not making me want to go to the dr. to deal with some of my moles... haha
Hello, ouch... Hope it's feeling better soon. Good luck with that stain too!
Oh my goodness...I completely feel your pain with the needles....I HATE THEM!!! Thanks for stopping by my blog!
Oh my gosh! I hope that looks worse than it felt!
Thanks for stopping by my blog today and for commenting! I know, I'm starting to get the feeling that this worry thing is not going anywhere. I guess that's the price we pay for being so lucky as to have people to love :)
oh my goodness! I had the same thing happen to me last time I had a mole checked. I walked out and before I even got to the counter to pay, it had run all the way down from my knee and was getting on their carpet!! Luckily I had on black pants though and it was a non issue. hahahaha.. I can only imagine Kim's first thoughts upon seeing you... without knowing what happened. lol :)
Awww poor you!!!! That hurts me looking at it!
Ouch! ...and a white shirt at that! Try Dreft on the blood stain...it works great!
