Before you vote, let me tell you what I did. It was SUPER FUN.
I went to the plastic surgeon AGAIN. While there, I sat in the waiting room with two babies, each under two months old. They were fussy and squirmy and adorable and not mine and I closed my eyes, mourning my missing ovaries.
Then, I had a debridement session, in which green, yellow and black necrotic, bacteria ridden tissue was removed from my chest via tweezers and scissors. Gross.
And ugly.
And bloody.
Do I win?

I cleaned up cat vomit on the carpet and dog poop in the yard. But I think you still win :( Yuck - I think you need a vacation. At least a vacation from going to the doctor.

eeew. Will it be over soon? I hope so. I don't like this contest. Let me know if you need a distraction. I'll order some Punch Pizza... :)
Yep. You win. No question.
Why you gotta be so competitive?
P.S. Nice use of the word "necrotic." I mean, I REALLY wish you didn't have to use it, of course. But nice use of it, just the same. Hey, you have to claim your victories wherever you can find them, right?
Also, debridement? Dear lord.
Also, why were there two new babies at the plastic surgeon's office? Dear lord, again.
I third Sarah's "Dear Lord". And another Dear Lord for good measure.
