I HAVE A bump on my head.
And I'm not talking about the bump (and cut) I gave myself Wednesday when I slammed my head on the edge of the bathroom door.
This bump on my head has been there for about five years. I wanted it removed right away. But the doctor at the time said it was nothing. So now, although it's still nothing, it's a bigger nothing and after it's surgically removed this evening it's going to leave a bigger hole, and I don't have any hair to grow in and cover it up. (Really, it's not so big.)
And, although I need this like I need a hole in my head, my mood has evened out and despite the minor annoyance I'm doing well. Maybe it was the moon.
Yesterday, the doctor froze off some spots on the top of my head. It took a few seconds and when he was done I said, "I hope you didn't ruin my hair" [my head is shaved]. He smiled and said, "Man! You should have said something before I started!" I like this doctor.

TENGO UN GOLPE en la cabeza.
Y no estoy hablando del golpe (y corte) que me regalé el miércoles cuando me golpeé la cabeza con el borde de la puerta del baño.
Este golpe en la cabeza ha estado allí durante unos cinco años. Yo quería que se eliminara de inmediato. Pero el médico en ese momento dijo que no era nada. Así que ahora, aunque todavía no es nada, pero es una nada más grande. y después de que se eliminó quirúrgicamente esta noche va a dejar un agujero más grande, y no tengo pelo para crecer y taparlo. (Realmente, no es tan grande.)
Y, aunque necesito esto como si necesitara un agujero en mi cabeza, mi estado de ánimo se ha estabilizado y, a pesar de la pequeña molestia, me está yendo bien. Tal vez fue la luna.
Ayer, el doctor se congeló en algunas manchas en la parte superior de mi cabeza. Tardó unos segundos y cuando terminó, le dije: "Espero que no hayas arruinado mi cabello" [mi cabeza está afeitada]. Él sonrió y dijo: "¡Hombre! ¡Deberías haber dicho algo antes de empezar!" Me gusta este doctor.
Why is the soundtrack of "Hair" running through my mind?
ReplyDeleteDebra:
DeleteMine, too. I was tempted to change videos.
My father used to get those all of the time! He'd wait until they grew so big thru his hair that he looked like a cartoon character that had gotten hit with a bat. He'd then shave his head and have them removed. My sister kept hers :)
ReplyDeleteI know I seem somewhat obsessed with SG's face, but you too have a beautiful, manly countenance. Such pretty eyes. I'm glad you feel better. That bathroom door needs to be put down!
Deedles:
DeleteI don't know what exactly this was. But clearly nothing like what your father had. He would have considered this tiny and unnoticeable. All doors in my vicinity (and kitchen cabinet handles) need to be wrapped in bubble wrap!
I dunno, his started out small and unnoticeable and grew before he'd take care of it. My sister just combed her hair over hers.
DeleteBubble wrap sounds like a good idea to ol' naturally clumsy me!
OH MY! (faints) so 70s! wish you would have taken me to the prom!
ReplyDeleteHe certainly was adorable, wasn't he? He still is!
Deleteanne marie and deedles:
DeleteYou two crack me up. I would have loved to have taken you to the prom, anne marie. But (1) my high school didn't have one and (2) I finished 6 months early and started college, so I didn't even go to graduation. And "he" didn't think so at the time but he WAS kind of adorable, wasn't he? (Which means in another GASP 47 years, I'll think this me was adorable.)
You are, Mitch, you are!
DeleteIt will add a whole new 'jeune ne sais quoi'.
ReplyDeleteGeez, do you ever look like you'd fit right in with the Gibb brothers!....back then!
Jim:
DeleteI don't need any more jeune ne sais quois! Ah, ha, ha, ha, stayin' alive!
Love it
ReplyDeleteJohn:
DeleteMy sister bought my graduation photo shirt and tie for my father for Christmas. But he wouldn't wear the shirt because it was purple. The second photo was taken in Dusseldorf. My sister had bought ME that dark eggplant lambswool sweater at Marks & Spencer!
Ouch! Hope your brains don't fall out.
ReplyDeleteWilma:
DeleteI'm not absolutely sure but I don't think the hole is quite big enough.
Where did all that hair run off to?
ReplyDeleteAdam:
DeleteDo you believe it?!? It still grows thick on the sides and back, but that would just look weird.
You were a very handsome young man.
ReplyDeleteKirk:
DeleteThank you. Not something I have ever thought of myself.
I see now it is one of them there ubiquitous bumps. Good for you for having it excised.
ReplyDeleteSpo:
DeleteQuiste cutaneo is one of its Spanish names... although the doctor called it a tumor.
