I was just feeling guilty the other day about never getting around to schedule getting skin tags around my anus removed. I thought I was ready, but every time I went to call to schedule the procedure I talked myself out of it. It scares me. My body is slow to heal and my life is too much on the go with work and school and not knowing the exact recovery time and how my body will handle it... well, the excuses are endless. It's pathetic, I know. I was feeling guilty until I got the anticipated bill from my last colon and rectal specialist visit. I pay a co-pay, but then three months after my appointment I get a bill for the additional part insurance won't cover. These appointments are standard. No drugs. Just some fancy machine/monitor that's hooked up to the scope to show images of where the scope is inside my colon. Oh yeah, and my doctor is a big part of that. Her fingers widen the opening where her fingers can reach because it gets so tight. Some people request the procedure to be done while they're under anesthesia, but I don't even want to know how much extra that costs.
I was feeling guilty about not scheduling to get those tags removed, but after getting that bill I'm not really in any hurry because I know getting those tags removed will cost more than a standard appointment since it requires me to be under anesthesia. It's just another excuse, I suppose. I'd rather go to Texas with that money, which is exactly what I'm going to do. My skin tagged ass will have a great time in Texas.
P.S. I have never been more excited to be a needle bed than I was today. I injected Cimzia into each side of the needle bed, my sensitive belly. Now, we wait.
