So I feel like Nelly with the little Band-Aid on my face. I had a birthmark removed today during lunch and half of my face is numb. Well, actually it is just starting to wear off and hurt like hell, but that should go away soon.

At first my right nostril, top right lip face, and teeth were numb. I looked like I had a stroke because my lip was all droopy on the right side. Well, this is quite a change. I’ve always had this one bump next to my nose and now it’s gone. There is this Nathaniel Hawthorne story about a Man who tried to remove the only imperfection from his wife ( a birthmark ) and it kills her. Interesting read.
