Wart
I've had this big, ugly, gross wart on my ring finger of my right hand for like two years now. I was wearing a ring that became too small for my finger, and I think the ring broke the skin on my finger and I developed a wart. We'll call him Buddy. Buddy the wart
Warts are like the seedy underbelly of humanity. Everyone gets them, but no one seems to talk about them. I just looked up 'warts' on the google blog search. There are blogs about wart removal and plantar warts, even genital warts, but they are very general. No one dares to admit they actually have the wart plague.
I guess I can see why nobody would admit to genital warts. I mean, that's a no brainer. But I think one would be more likely to admit to a STD than just a dirty ole common wart.
I'll admit it. I'm dirty. A dirty commoner. With a dirty, common wart.
I've had Buddy for over a year now and I've tried everything short of going to the doctor. I've picked at it. Bit at it. Used duct tape on it. Concealed it with 'hello kitty' band-aids. I even used Dr. Scholl's Freeze Away Wart Remover a few times and I'll be darned if that stupid wart was still alive and kickin' !
In a twisted way, I am kind of attached to Buddy. He's the annoying best friend you can't get rid of even though you have tried. So it was with heavy heart that I went to the doctor's office today to get rid of the thing.
The doctor froze it with liquid nitrogen. It was cold. And it kind of tickled.
He said it should fall of in 3-4 weeks.
We'll see.
Is it kind of sick that I'll miss Buddy a little?
