Hmm... Where to start? Well maybe lets start with the most eventfull and time consuming, Randy's thumb. So he has had this thing on his thumb for months now that just looked like a blister or cyst or something. So a month or so ago we lanced it and all it did was gush blood, we figured we should have someone look at it after lancing it 3 or 4 times and all we got was a lot of blood. We took him to the UVU health clinic since he isn't on my insurance yet and with all the many trips and prescriptions and things they have done to his thumb it has only been $10! Anywho, So the first trip we figured they would just look at it, not know what it is, and have us come back when the doctor was there. Oh no, the Nurse Practitioner came in, looked at it, and then said, " Well, lets go dig around in it a bit, ok?" So much to our suprise she numbed it, then sliced it open with a scalpel, we warned her about the blood, that didn't stop her, she then continued to get tweezers with like jagged edges on the end and dig and scrape inside this thing on his thumb. Gross, even I had to sit down, gushing blood, tugging on the skin, it was pretty discusting, good thing I'm not doing nursing anymore. After digging to the bottom of this thing she found a wart. Apparantly it was a wart that never grew to the surface and so his body encapsulated it and was treating it as a foreign body. After all of this she decided his thumb was too irritated to freeze off the wart and so she just wrapped it and it ended up getting infected. We have been visiting her for the past few weeks almost 3 times every week just for her to take a look at it and try to freeze the wart off. She also advised him to try picking off the scab so that she wouldn't have to do it and hurt him more. Sunday he began picking at it and after a few minutes of that it started gushing blood again! It had pretty much grown back to the size it was when we first took him in. So after about half an hour of trying to get the bleeding to stop and Randy getting light headed from the loss of blood and sight of all of it we were able to cut off the circulation to his thumb and wrap it quick enough to avoid any more squirting of blood. Here are some pics of that event.
See the STREAM! And there was alot more blood than this too!
So that should bring us up to date, we went to the doctor on Monday and she attempted to freeze the wart and just ended up making it bleed more, after numbing it again and cutting off the circulation she managed to freeze the skin above the wart to stop the bleeding. Thursday he is going to see the Doctor there and see if she can get down to the wart to finally get rid of the dang thing!!
On another note...
- Halloween -
We decided we didn't really want to do much since the past few years we have gone all out on costumes and everything so we just went to a party the night before and threw together quick costumes as Edward and Alice Cullen from the "Twilight Series" We had teeth and everything but they didn't stay on very well and they were really uncomfortable so we really just ended up looking like deathly white, sick people dressed up. Oh well, other than our boring costumes the night was pretty fun, it was on La Caille property at Randy's friends Rachel's Cabin. Tyson and Adrienne joined us, she was supposed to be where's waldo and Tyson was a punk guy!
CLASSIC SKATING
Last weekend we got to hang out with Michelle and Sheldon, they got a sitter for Asher, so we were able to go out to Classic! It was really fun, it's only my second time going and I always have fun, it's a good workout and fun to watch the younger kids flirt with each other haha.
