If anyone asks, I got attacked by a shark...

Ok so not all blog posts can be cute, soft, wonderful little babies. If you are eating right now, stop. These are pictures of what remains of a wort that I had removed last week. I had it treated while I was about 6 or 7 months pregnant with acid and instead of making it go away, the thing grew to about 10 times it's original size. I was told this was a result of the hormones from pregnancy. Yes, I actually had it treated at the doctor's office. This is nothing I did on my own. I had a professional make me have what was recently referred to as a "BEEFY" wart on the front of my shin. I don't ever want anything on my body referred to as Beefy. So anyway, it was so big that the doctor had to cut it out in an "S" shape so there would be something left to close the opening. Throwing up yet? Hope you enjoy the pictures.
Please come back our blog soon!!

I hope it leaves a really cool scar you can tell your kids and friends about years into the future... ;-)

This is nothing like how mom described it on the phone, btw. She normally doesn't leave any details out - but she clearly didn't do it any justice.

Wow...that is very gross looking! It seems that the scar is going to be intersting.

I think it looks great, Gretch. Don't let all these other people tell you anything different. In fact, I think you should start a wart blog (not to be confused with a wart hog) that details the lives of yours and other warts in our society. Be loud and proud!!

I told the doctor that the shark attack story would be way cooler than telling people about the lame wart removal and he said that sharks have been found as far into the mainland as Mississippi AND that some saltwater sharks can actually live in freshwater for up to 40 days!!! I'm sure there could be a shark that somehow makes it to Minnesota with all the lakes there. It's believable! Maybe I should say I fell off my Harley at Sturgis after jumping four or five cars in a stunt show. I got in a fight with a midget carrying a knife? I donated part of my shin to science? My dog jake finally learned how to attack with his two teeth? FINE!!! I GOT A STUPID WART REMOVED!!! ARE YOU HAPPY NOW?????
