After 2 months of worry & $65.00

Most all of my family that reads my blog knows this story but I will tell it for those that have not heard it.
So above as you can see I have a spot on my right foot this "Spot" as I call it as near as I can remember has been there for at least ten months to a year. I never thought anything of it just keeping a little bit of a watchful eye on it and making sure it didn't change or get bigger. Then the day came..... What day is that you might ask? Well it was the day of the family get together (the day was July 11th) when my cousin Sandy was in town. Of course we spent all day outside and I had gotten in the pool so I had been walking around with out my shoes on and we were sitting there talking and someone saw this "spot" on my foot. And said "What is that?" I said "I don't know it never hurts itches or anything like that so I am not worried about it." Well everyone started saying "Well you need to go get that checked out!! it could be bad...."

Well to try and make a long story short almost from that point forward I started worrying about this stupid spot I looked at it 2 and 3 times a day and I started telling myself "there is something wrong its getting bigger." Well one thing leads to another I made an appointment with my regular Doctor that I needed to have anyway. And he tells me well its nothing to worry about I am sure but I need to send you to a dermatologist. So I got in to see the dermatologist yesterday and I am happy to report that after all this worrying about this spot and another $65.00 for an office visit (I have insurance but it has a high deductible) That it is a freaking bruise!! Well he had some long name for it but basically it is a deep bruise that in most cases he said will not go away.

I guess it is better to be safe then sorry but its just one of those things until I talked to about 15 other people about it I was sure it was nothing to worry about. :)

Everyone have a great rest of the week!
