ICK! ICK!

Okay, so the doctor today told me that the wart was coming along fine. Basically it was a big scab under a single layer of skin, and it was time to start 'picking at it'.

So I have. The think skin split in a complete circle around the scab itself, which had already pulled way at the edges from the new skin below. So when it came off (in a single piece) what I was left with was a circle of smooth, shiny new skin slightly smaller than my pinky nail with a scabby unhealed portion right in the center. It looks so bizarre! Like a Wintergreen Certs, but skin colored with a scabby mint center.

I don't know if the wart is gone. The scabby area is in the dead center of the new skin, and the wart was a little off-center on the actual blister. I won't really be able to tell until it all heals up.

Wish I had my camera here. I know you all are dying for a picture.

In other doctor news, he's given me some more lorazepam, although I should mimize it's use (while being smart about when I actually need it). I'll be taking the melatonin daily, which should increase its effectiveness.

Beyond that, I've got a bit of eczema on my ankles and that twitch in my lip went away.

I'm such a HANDSOME man!
