In medical news just to hand, I've been vaccinated for swine flu this year - my lovely GP offered it to me while I was in getting a script for my underactive thyroid, because of my working with young children status. It didn't hurt at all.
Also, while I was there I said can you please check out my warts so that I know they're warts before I apple-cider-vinegar them? While she was inspecting them I joked I was turning into a warty old lady.
She said those two are not exactly warts. They are seb0rrh0eic kerat0sis. Have you ever seen an old man's chest? I said not in living memory. She said in hospitals you see quite a lot of old men with lots of what look like squashed sultanas on them. Then she showed me a perfectly disgusting picture. Here's the link. ONLY FOLLOW IT IF YOU WANT TO BE GROSSED OUT! She then offered to freeze them off with liquid nitrogen and I practically fell over in my hurry to accept this offer.
It's bad enough turning into a warty old lady, I definitely don't want to turn into a warty old man.

ReplyDeleteThank goodness for liquid nitrogen is all I can say!
I'm NOT going to follow that link. No way. Ewww.
ReplyDeleteewww. I've had one of them too. Lucky for liquid nitrogen ...
ReplyDeleteyeurk! it took me w hile to work out that the middle picture in the bottom row was the side of someone's eye :( i think i have a few of those although not as revoltingly as some of the pics.
ReplyDeletewhere can you buy liquid nitrogen?? from 7/11?
Oh no I'm not checking those pictures out , gee thanks very much anyway though .
ReplyDeleteHave you warned Fixit about your tendency to turn into an old man as you age?
ReplyDeleteI couldn't help myself, I clicked. Gahhh! Do you think they have to send those poor chaps in for a liquid nitrogen bath?
ReplyDeleteSultanas? SULTANAS?
ReplyDelete... brrrrr.
Um, yuck. You're right though, warty old man wouldn't be a look that suited you at all.
ReplyDeleteYou would make a terrible boy! Unless you turn into Fred Astaire. I did NOT look. I'm about to eat lunch.
ReplyDeleteLOL. No danger of the man thing, I think.
ReplyDeleteI'll take your word on the descrption - no need for me to follow your link.
ReplyDeleteYou made me laugh - again.
Next thing you know there'll be an ear hair alert! Just kidding.....
ReplyDeleteOMG I clicked.
ReplyDeleteWHY WOULD I CLICK????
Yuk, take the nitrogen option.
ReplyDeleteAnd the thyroxine.
There is nothing wrong with aging, but squashed sultana aging? Pass.
I totally agree! I have had a couple of really small ones zapped off. Gom has some on his back that the GP keeps telling us are OK. Ugly, but OK.
ReplyDeleteI am laughing, and definitely not clicking through!
ReplyDeleteNow I wonder what the Dr Fish would make of those? Perhaps they'd be prepared to nibble them off too?
