My Big, Fat, American Biopsy

At 8:30 a.m., off I went to the luxurious new offices of Dr. Saunders, my dermatologist. I never expected to have a dermatologist, really. But wherever my doctor sends me, I will go.

The dermatologist looked me all over, and I passed every inspection with the exception of the small thing I have on my arm. So he drew a circle in the middle of it with his ballpoint pen, injected my arm with a pain killer, and did a biopsy - removing a chunk of arm about the size of a pencil eraser. He will have the results around the time we return from our trip.

Then we were off on the beginning of our fabulous September road trip to D.C. I don't know if I was just tired, or whether the pain killer injection had an effect on me - but I got groggier and groggier, and slept for over an hour in the car. And after that I still felt groggy. Don't know what was up with that.

We stayed in Sniders' new condo in Canton - which is extremely comfortable - and enjoyed seeing Sniders, who are extremely hospitable. We had pizza from Jet's Pizza (very yummy) and then Dick and Bill went off to watch Belleville lose to Allen Park. Jan and I watched "My Big, Fat, Greek Wedding" and had a great time.

What Nan left out was a listing of our mental glitches.
First, just past Kingsley we realized that we had left the tickets back on the bulletin board.
Second, when we arrived in Canton at Jan and Bill's I realized that I had left my shaving kit back on the counter in the bathroom. Jan saved me a trip back to TC by having Dr. Kim phone in a temp supply of meds to the local CVS. I have always said that the reason we cary credit cards is to replace the things we forgot. This trip to CVS racked up $120 +.
Third, when I got dressed for the game I discovered that I had forgotten to pack my game hat. My game hat is an M hat that I only wear to games. I have worn it to every Michigan game that Lloyd has coached. I guess it's not that essential, I wore it to the ND game and not to the EMU fiasco.
