THE BIG RED BUMP

I recently had a Big Red Bump on my nose and needed to go see our local doctor. Before seeing the doctor I have to see Delores the Medical Assistant. She always wants to weigh me on her antique, pre-historic, inaccurate, junkyard scales. Because of that I don’t pay attention to what they say I weigh or what Delores writes down. They are wrong.

Because of the big red bump on my nose, I went in wearing a mask. I had bought a nose hair trimmer and didn’t know that thing could also reach up and grab and start trimming away your whole nose. Delores wanted to see my nose. I took off the mask and she asked me which one was my nose and I told her my nose was the one on the left side and the other side was the big red bump. Then, of course, she wanted to know what happened and I told her about the renegade runaway nose hair trimmer that attacked me. She quickly turned around to make a note but I could see her body slightly bouncing from laughter. But, Delores is a pro and soon recouped and acted like she was familiar with nose hair trimmer accidents.

The doctor soon came in and took a look and I had to explain to him about my big red bump. He guessed that my nose might be the one on the left. He also had an obvious unusual grin and wrote me a prescription for antibiotics and told me to carefully wash the big bump with soap and warm water. He also advised me to keep wearing the mask for everyone’s sake.

It’s good to have medical people you can trust when the unexpected happens.

No, really…that’s what happened.
