Silver Nitrate Cautery

*****

There may be days when you get up in the morning and
things aren't the way you had hoped they would be. That's
when you have to tell yourself that things will get
better. There are times when people disappoint you and let
you down, but those are the times when you must remind
yourself to trust your own judgments and opinions, to keep
your life focused on believing in yourself and all that
you are capable of.

There will be challenges to face and changes to make in
your life, and it is up to you to accept them. Constantly
keep yourself headed in the right direction for you. It
may not be easy t times, but in those times of struggle
you will find a stronger sense of who you are, and you
will also see yourself developing into the person you have
always wanted to be.

Life is a journey through time, filled with many choices;
each of us will experience life in our special way. So
when the days come that are filled with frustration and
unexpected responsibilities, remember to believe in
yourself and all you want your life to be, because the
challenges and changes will only help you to find the
dreams that you know are meant to come true for you.

Wow, that one was long. Very inspirational, though. I like
this book. I feel that its much more relevant to my life
than the Dalai Lama's book. Only because this one is more
open-ended. When they speak of faith, it can mean
anything. For me, faith is in myself and what I'm capable
of. Not God. I don't know him and my mother always told me
never to talk to strangers.

Bart is gone! I'm so glad! At first I was a little
concerned that today's appointment would only be a
consult, but the doctor took a look at it and decided it
was small enough that he could take care of it right then
and there. Was waiting on two different woman to finish
laboring so he could deliver their babies. I'm honored
that he squeezed me in.

I'm in a fair amount of pain at the moment. I'm using my
numbing jelly and putting ice packs on my area, but the
pain is still there. I've got about a centimeter long
incision on the side of the cyst, which is closed with
silver nitrate cautery. That, paired with all the pressure
he used to drain the cyst has left me a little tender. I'm
hoping a good night's sleep will leave me feeling better
in the morning. I've got a full day ahead of me. Dr.
Martin at 8am and work at 1pm. Snookums has a few errands
he needs me to run for him. A new neckerchief for sea and
anchor detail and another seabag to accommodate all the
stuff he's accumulated while out at sea.

Well, that's all for tonight. Nothing much else to say.
I'm feeling 100% better mentally because Bart is gone and
I'm optimistic that no other medical issues will arise
until after Snookums gets home. He spilled the beans today
and told me he's coming home from Hawaii, instead of
staying with the ship. He's never been able to keep a
secret, but I already new he was coming home early. I'll
still act surprised when I respond to his e-mail. Ciao.
