# 3

To continue with our medical theme this year I had a small benign tumor in my neck that had been growing for about 3 years. I went to an ear, nose, and throat doctor at the end of last year who did some tests and decided that it was not anything to worry about but since it was growing we might as well take it out. I agreed since I didn't want it to grow to be the size of a baseball. ( awkward)

So on February 7th I went in to have it removed. Surgery went well. It was the best nap! I felt pretty sick the rest of the day. But I have a wonderful visiting teacher, Annalee who brought dinner and Brownies!
I took some tylenol the next day but felt pretty good. I took a shower and drove myself to the doctor to get the drain taken out. I was a little concerned about it hurting, but I didn't feel a thing. The nurse then proceeded to wrap gauze around my whole neck to cover the cut... Yeah it came off as soon as I thought it was fine.

Our sweet home teachers the Ashcrofts brought dinner in the next night. I felt so loved.
It looked a tiny bit gory at first, but it healed up pretty quick.
It looks even better now! Can't hardly tell it was there.

I'm pretty sure that we have now met our deductables for the year ensuring that we will now be injury free...
