This is my first try to post by Deepest Sender. I don’t know what it would look like. But I hope it’ll do fine.

Well, today I have my ‘mole’ on my right-side of face lifted. Why? because it’s been growing bigger for a long time and sometime it goes so itchy that i want to scratch it off my face. When I wen to the doctor this morning in Santosa Hospital, she said this is a kind of tumor on the surface of the skin and needed to be removed. First, she said that it would take about 1 to 2 hours, small operation involving stitching. Fortunately, today was the last day of ‘an event that i forgot it’s name’ that give discount or free treatment. And I was using an insurance (baca: askes).

And another fortunate of me, the doctor’s professor was visiting Indonesia and had a look at me, and he said…. it’ll take only 3 minutes to lift it. With no surgery at all, but local anesthesia. On the other hand, I also asked the officer in the hospital that said that the insurance that I was on will cover the procedure of the doctor (which is about 500 thousands rupiahs, if it does not involving laser-ing); and would surely covers the procedure that will be conducted by the ‘professor’.

So after doing some administration procedure that assuring it would be covered by the insurance, I went back to the doctor who then led me to a room in emergency section where I was told to lay down. There was the professor, from US, waiting with three woman that I believed are doctors that are doing workshop with the professor because they were photographing my ‘mole’. After a shot of local anesthesia, the professor ‘scraped’ my mole then applied aluminium chloride (i believed, since i saw the label) to ‘burn’ my wound and stop it from bleeding. Then my wound was covered by a little cutted-bandaged. It was only not more than 5 minutes. And I was back on my way.

Then after signing several papers, stating that I was on insurance, I left the payment booth without having to pay anything. And it was the same at the pharmacy too, where i was given an oitment, a pain killer (which i don’t know what for, since it is not too painfull rather itchy-like, and an antibiotik, amoxixylin to be exact). Good thing for insurance. Good thing for the professor, otherwise I’ll have to put up with minor surgery, several stitches and maya a ‘bill’.

I don’t know what it’ll look like after it healed. But i hope it will be oke.
