The Day My Face was Butchered

Yes, by now we have our own car which I will blog about later and we have no excuse not to go out anymore. We’re both homebodies and would find every excuse not to go out of the house. We’re just content being in front of the PC everyday that’s how boring we both are. But thanks to my dad who gave me his old car about three weeks ago we have been going out of the house more than the usual. Now we love going out so much even if it meant having our face butchered. Okay, before you panic I don’t mean that literally of course but judging from what I see in the mirror every day it comes fairly close.
Here’s what happened. Last Saturday, we visited the derma for our really overdue warts removal treatment. We had those in our body removed a year ago for free (thanks Medicard) but for the face we have to pay the fee so that’s also a reason why it took this long. Fortunately for S he has only few warts on his face but I have numerous little ones. So if you have no idea how warts are being removed well, you’re in for a shock. The process is called Electrocauterization and it’s described by Wikipedia as,

Electrocauterization is the process of destroying tissue using heat conduction from a metal probe heated by electric current (much like a soldering iron). The procedure is used to stop bleeding from small vessels (larger vessels being ligated) or for cutting through soft tissue. Unlike electrocautery, electrosurgery is based on generation of heat inside tissue, using electric current passing through the tissue itself.

In short, the warts are burned by a small metal probe with electricity passing on it. The good news is they apply anesthesia before doing that but I was still so nervous when they were actually doing the procedure because some of the warts are near my eyes. And who wouldn’t be nervous, I can smell the burning of my skin! I had to take deep breaths to calm my self down.

So I thought the procedure was the worst part of it but I was in for a shock when I looked at the mirror. I had so many wounds that it literally covered both of my cheeks! I had no idea it was that many. Instantly, the question I had in my mind was what if it leaves scars all over my face? I had to remind myself that this was not the first time I had to go through that procedure and no ugly scars were left on my body the first time. S was shocked too when he saw what happened to my face. He was next in line to have his removed and he got scared when he saw my face.
