Yes I know my comment is sort of political BUT it is medical as well.

I saw former NSW LABOR Minister M Costa on tv last night.
The issue of the transplant of gene "edited" (GM like as in what they do to food crops for a better yield) pigs heart into a man was being discussed.

M Costa said "yes , you never know they may be transplanting brains into GREENS next".

Went in for my skin check today - a few spots zapped off.

But she found 2 spots that need removal - I hate that. I took a Wednesday appointment to do it - as didn't want to wait till Friday.

They rang and said they had a cancellation today if I wanted to come back ... so I did - just home from it. One on the side of the nose - in the groove. The other above the left eye.

My nose is now all numb. And my eye brow seems to hang. All looks a bit odd. But will be OK tomorrow when the stuff wears off. Boy it stings when she puts the anaesthetic in.

These skin spots are a nuisance. She cut two off my face - very small - but says not to get them wet. how do you shower and not get your face wet.

Stitches out on Monday.

know how you feel.
Have a few scars from surgery to have moles removed and last time was just a visit to a surgeon for a "local" in Office Basal cell carcinoma removal from my lip.
Wasnt pretty and he blew my lip up without anaesthetic or a local then cut it out.
Missus had same guy remove an actual cancerous mole from her hip and she thought he was a butcher.

Busted a big filling out of a molar on Tuesday and was lucky to get in to Dentist on Friday for a fix.

Yesterday, a bloody bad day for me. The morning at 8am on the site - I had a small seizure (mainly hand) then I said to my employee I'm going home. 2 hours later, another seizure in my right arm it was :)ing ---the same time it was going into my right frontal lobe (it's hard to describe with people). It subsided after 2 minutes. Then 1 hour later I have rung my DR. I spoke to the receptionist and asked to speak to my DOC. 10 minutes she rang me. Then, go and get a PCR test then, she uploaded a script on my Mobile to increase my epileptic meds. Only by 400mg.
It would take 2-3 days for the results with the COVID-19. Though last night I have spare rad. It was negative. Jesus C - so if I'm negative, then my seizures are coming back! F.:):)..!

It's a good thing I got 5 minutes on my mobile - negative, though the problem I had 2 seizures yesterday. I haven't had a seizure for many years. Crap...maybe I have to see my neurologist? It's been years. The spine crap - C7,6,5,4 and L5,4 and sciatica it's a neurosurgeon.
Jesus C - :rolleyes: I'm more careful now. Give me a bloody break, God.

Hope it goes well mate.

Nothing more scarier than something like that happening.

Doctors did say to me years ago if your stress levels are quite high - sometimes you may have a seizure. Maybe they were correct. Business and the climate about the changing process with even ordering materials - big expense. Possibly subconsciously, it's taking a toll on me? Who knows. I know I'm stressed, but usually, I'm better than most as I own my own property.

Stress is a funny thing. Some people thrive on it. To others its a killer.

I knew a person who seemed to live on it - they needed it to really get going.

Best of luck with your health but given your health surely you do not still have a drivers licence?
