Minor Ailments

Mister JHDK, I would be remiss if I neglected to tell you this before you bleed to death. What you had is not a "skin tab," as you called it. It is a skin tag.

Mayo Clinic Q and A: What are skin tags? - Mayo Clinic News Network

DEAR MAYO CLINIC: I have several unsightly skin tags on different areas of my body. As I age, I notice more of these skin tags appearing out of nowhere. What are skin tags, and are they harmful? Can I do something to get rid of them myself, or do I need to see a dermatologist? ANSWER: Skin […]

Went for my yearly physical checkup this afternoon and turned out pretty good, blood sugar is NORMAL after being extremely high the last time. Cholesterol is a LITTLE high but not horrible. Some subtle changes to my diet will fix that (lay off the fast food, etc.). Otherwise, clean bill of health.

So I did it tonight. Pam told me her nurse mom would use nail clippers. So I sanitized them w a lighter and clipped it. It didn't hurt at all but I'm bleeding like a suck pig. As expected. I have a rag under my knee right now. I imagine it'll clot soon enough...or I'll just bleed to death.

Congrats!
But now that your numbers are good, that means you can eat whatever you want.
I'm on Crestor now so that I can eat steak whenever I want!

One of the 2 times I screwed up prior to fasting blood-work: I woke up during the night with heartburn, took a couple of Tums. Then I forgot I did that. I was labeled as "pre-diabetic" for months, until 3 more blood draws came back normal.

I have a skin tab on the back of my right knee. I've taken care of these before but they've always been on my back. And I've had my dad to help me out which is kind of weird. So I would have him tie a string around it really tight and then after a few days of it hurting, and it does hurt a lot, It just falls off. Problem solved. Also it's kinda neat how they turn black before they fall off.

Now I'm thinking I have to take more drastic measures. Quick razor blade boom I can slice that bitch off. It's like two seconds of pain and then I just need to have like towels around to stop the bleeding.

Tums have sugar in them?
