Into The Fray

Hi, it's me, David. My first blog entry. Ever. Jen made me do it. I don't have much interesting news to tell, basically because Jen does such a good job of keeping everyone up to speed on what we are up to.
So I had a wart on my arm. I went to the doctor and he made me an appointment to get it removed. It took awhile, but then I finally was able to go back and see this nurse who had a big cannister of liquid nitrogen. It was pretty cool. She was just like, "So its this wart, then? Any others?" And I said no, that's it. So she pulled the trigger and sprayed this little jet of nitrogen at the wart. It really didn't sting or anything. Frost formed on a little spot about one centimeter wide, half on my wart and half on my arm. Then it disappeared. I was kind of disappointed, because I expected it to be more dramatic.
Anyway, it blistered up after a few days and eventually about half of my wart came off with the scab on my arm. I don't think the nurse hit the wart straight on, because only one side seemed affected. So I get to go back on the first of november to get another shot of the cold stuff. Maybe I will ask her if I can half the leftover nitrogen. I could use it to blast weeds in the driveway. I wonder if that would be more effective than the propane blowtorch I have right now. Jen won't let me use the blowtorch on my wart. She says that's like something my Dad would do, and I think she's right.
One time my Dad smashed his fingernail and it bled under the nail. I've had the same thing happen and it really hurts because of the pressure it creates. So my Dad took his cordless drill and used a really small bit to drill a hole in his nail. It worked.
Okay, so I'll let you know how the wart thing goes and maybe I can post some pictures of the dramatic process next time.

bye.
