freezing

 Yesterday I had an appointment with a dermatologist.  It was my first ever baseline all over check for possible skin cancer.  Since my father, who worked outside most of his life, developed some little cancerous spots on his face when he got older I decided it wouldn't hurt to be checked out.  After an embarrassingly thorough check up all over my body it was determined that I had two little pre-cancerous spots on my forehead.  Really not worth taking my clothes off for.  The nurse practitioner whipped out his little ray gun and zapped both spots with a freezing ray.  I was told that after a day or two scaly patches would develop and gradually everything would fall off including the troublesome little bumps.  This morning, right on schedule, one spot had developed the promised scaly surface.  The other one. however, still felt just like it always had.  I was beginning to wonder if the NP had missed his shot.  However, by this evening, the second spot has become satisfyingly scaly.  I'm so glad that no one will see me except by Zoom for the next few days.  In case you're wondering why I bothered to share this less that monumental physical adventure today it was either that or celebrate National Static Electricity Day.
