This is an "Oww, my eye hurts" and an "I have increased my word power" thread. →[More:]So, I managed to get my dermatologist appointment moved up a week and went in early this morning. I have gained two things from the experience, enhanced word power, and discomfort. The weird growth right by the corner of my eye turned out to be a benign tumor called a
Hemangioma and it was removed this morning. The Hemangioma was fairly large, so now I have a big area that is nice and crispy from the cauterization which actually touches up against the edge of the
caruncula lachrymalis which is much too close to the actual eye for comfort. Needless to say when someone is hacking at that area with a scalpel and cooking it well done to stop the bleeding, it's going to be uncomfortable when the general wears off and you start to feel it. It has, and I am. Ouch. Can I go home from work? Pretty please?
