Well, that dermatologist appt. was a bit more of an ordeal than I'd planned. The dermatologist thought the mole I was suspicious of needed to be biopsied and said she wouldn't be surprised if it came back precancerous and if the margins didn't come back clean, I'd have to go back to the office for an outpatient procedure. Ugh. And the thing was so large, I had to get 3 stitches after she cut it out, so now I have to go back in 2 weeks for the nurse to remove the stitches. I've never needed stitches from the biopsies in the past, and the whole thing made me very faint & slightly queasy, so they made me wait lying down an extra 30 min. I just HATE needles. Now I have to wait on the biopsy results. I have a pounding headache after everything.

My mom is sick too. She had a 103F fever yesterday and was throwing up, and I'm worried about her. She had her chemo port removed in an outpatient procedure earlier in the week, and it's been hurting and infected, and the nurse said the doctor was out sick too and didn't really give my mom advice. My mom took a COVID test and it was negative, but she also could have got a false neg or tested too early. Or she has an infection from the port removal. I wish she'd see a doctor! My grandmother is also sick and needs to see a doctor, but I don't think my mom will be able to take her. Then, my mom fell out of bed last night & hurt her knee & leg too. It is so hard when your parents & grandmother get up in age
