Yesterday started out like it was going to be a good day. I went to work, I was more awake then usual, and I knew I had a long lunch b/c I was headed to the doctor to finally fix the bumps on my head. Let me begin by explaining my bumps. I noticed the first one a REALLY LONG time ago, went to the doctor, who explained to me "oh it's just a clogged oil gland, nothing to worry about unless it's just bothering you or getting bigger, and you can come in and we can suck it out in no time at all." Well all this time has passed and I had noticed 2 more come up, all of which kept getting bigger and bigger. And even though everyone tells me that they can't see them, I could, and there was always that having to explain to the next person that cuts your hair that I have bumps, they don't hurt, they're nothing every time. So I get to the doctor yesterday to find out that oh NO NO NO it's not that simple, there was no hair shaving thank God or I would not have gone through with it, but there was numbing, cutting, pulling, etc etc all of which I could feel b/c the numbing medicine sucked! Needless to say I left there w/ the worst headache EVER! and now I have 4 stitches in my head. Yea for cysts! 
Today has been much better. My head doesn't hurt at all, and the doc had done an excellent job of not pulling out too much hair, so today you can't even tell the stitches are there. Also my company (Apache Corporation) is getting really into wellness and keeping their employees healthy. We had a wellness fair today with free massages, games, free trials at gyms, healthy food, water, drawings, etc. Very fun, esp the massage part. I also got my flu shot so I can be cold free this winter (hopefully). But anyway back to the wellness part. We have profiles set up online w/ all our "health" stuff, blood work, whether we smoke, our goals, stress levels, etc and if we improve by sometime next year they are rewarding us "financially". It'll probably be around $100 which in my book is enough to help on some credit card debt LOL. I'm excited about it. I've been more motivated lately, joined a gym and whatnot and so I'm glad they are doing this for us. It's nice to work for a company that has billions of dollars!!!

Ouch. The description made my skin crawl a bit. But I'm glad you got those taken care of, I remember you talking about those a long time ago. But believe me, really, nobody could see them unless you had us feel for them. Sorry it was so painful to get rid of though!
How strange is this. I came to your blog from my niece's blog, and am having this EXACT thing done this afternoon! I only have one, but I am glad to hear there is no shaving involved! Thanks for the heads up!
