My Day at the Riverton Hospital

I had this whole post going - I was telling you the time and what I was doing - but it was getting boring and long.  So I'll just tell you that yesterday I spent the afternoon at the Riverton Hospital.  First for allergy shots, then a dermatology appointment to have some moles checked/removed, then Katie had her 15 month check up.

Allergy shots are boring.  But one of my arms had a nice reation and it is still swollen and itchy.

Having moles removed is freaky.  The needle part isn't so bad, but the sawing motion with the razor blade really freaked me out and after the appointment I had to go down to the pharmacy and buy me some candy to make me feel better and not pass out.

All three of the moles that I had removed are on my neck, and I can't believe how bad they hurt.  So I had a horrible night's sleep and am now at work not moving my neck... which makes my back hurt because I'm so tense and can't turn my neck.

I have a friend that posted about having some moles removed and how she felt like she had lost some of her identity.  I understand that now.  I've had these moles since I was a very small child and they have been part of who I am.  Now they are gone and it's weird.  Mostly just for this one in the middle of my chest:

This picture isn't the best to show it, but it makes me laugh.

Anyway, I'm not going to talk about my moles anymore.  Because it feels weird and personal.  And weird.

Katie's check-up went pretty good.  Other than she hasn't even gained a full pound in the last three months.  She grew taller, but not much else.  But the doctor isn't too worried.  She looks and IS healthy.  She's just little.  Like, 2% little.

But at least she likes broccoli.

And she still loves the carousel.

It's a family picture!  Hi Tyson!
