Liquid Nitrogen Cryosurgery

I have put off going to the doctor for too long. I have finally made appointments with all of my doctors. So far everything has been fine until today! I had an appointment with the skin doctor. I left work early to make a 3:15 appointment. My hubby road with me and am I ever glad. I am not extra sensitive to pain but.....do not ever let anyone tell you that it does not hurt to have something frozen!!!!! It is called Liquid Nitrogen Cryosurgery but it should be called COLD PAIN!!!!!!!! I had a couple of spots that I wanted him to check, you know, just to make sure that it was not skin cancer. I was one of those females that lived on the creek, by the pool, and in the tanning bed. I had one place above my left eye that looked like it needed to be checked. Well........oh my dear Lord in heaven!!!! He told me to relax and do not hold my breath. Let me just say....I held my breath, gritted my teeth and tried not to wet my pants!!!! It was only supposed to sting for 5-10 min. after the procedure. That was hours ago and it still hurts. They should be arrested for telling lies!!!! I look like I have been in a fight and I lost. Now, I try not to be so worried about the way I look, but I really do not want to go to work looking like this tomorrow. The swelling may last for several days. I am sure that if YaYa would have been with me that she would have been laughing. My husband tried to make me feel better by saying that he could not really tell that I was swollen...please!!!! Look at my pictures. I had three places frozen. One above my left eye, one below my right eye, and one on my left leg. The one on my leg is pretty painful. I have not had a good week. Yesterday I got my finger with my scissors and probably could have used a stitch or two but, I just applied pressure until it stopped bleeding and applied a butterfly bandage. Whine, whine, whine!!!! On a good note, I think that all of boo boo's will heal up fine. Needless to say, I will not be going back to the skin doctor for a while. I will have to get up the courage to pay him for the PAIN!!!! It is too senstive to even take off my eye mascara.

It feels as bad as it looks.
