My eye issues cost too much!

Wow, who knew my camera could take such a good picture!  My optometrist took a picture way worse than this and charged me $70!  I think I should just document any growth/change myself!

Back in Janurary when I had a routine eye examine the Dr. was very nervous about the brown spot you see on my eye and the fact that it is pulling the pupil upward.  She called it a raised, non-pigmented lesion.  She said she wasn't sure if it was an iris nevus or an iris melanoma.  She said she wanted me to go to UC Davis for an eye exam and consultation. 

I went and everything turned out fine.  In fact, the Dr. said that I have less than a 5% chance that the mole will develop into a melanoma.  He was actually so confident that he said he bet it was actually less than 1% chance!  That is the good news!  The bad news is he charged me over $400 for the appointment.  My insurance makes me pay the first $500 so between his visit and the first Dr.'s visit that is how much I owe.

From now on I am just going to let it be monitored at my regular eye Dr. appointment every year!  I think I will take my own pictures too and have it documented at home as well!

The measurements of the iris nevus were 2.75 diameter and 2.6 in thickness!  There, now my blog will keep an accurate record!  I will even label this post for future use!

Hair

So I decided to try a local hair salon so Ed could watch the baby while I got my hair done.  That was a big mistake!  The salon has only been open since November and I didn't know anyone that had gone.  I figured I would just take a chance and try it out!  The whole experience was horrible.  Not only was it not relaxing, but the hair dresser didn't know what she was doing.  I showed her the picture on the bottom of me last October.  I told her I wanted my hair exactly like that!  You would think when I am showing her a picture of my own hair she would get it right!  NOPE!  Check out the first picture!  That is what she did to me!  It doesn't even look the same and it is way shorter!  Not to mention the color isn't light enough.  She only did half the amount of highlights I usually get done!  I am never going back.  Granted I am not embarrassed to be seen with my new haircut/color, but it certainly isn't what I asked for!  Hopefully this summer I can get it done at the place I used to go to that is an hour and 15 minutes away!  By then the baby should be fine to be left for that long!

Easter Party at the Gym

On Saturday we took the girls to an Easter Party at the gym.  The best party about doing holiday parties at our gym is they are not very crowded.  There were only 22 kids signed up!  Much better than going to community events where there are 100's of kids!  The girls had fun, they got to do a bunny Easter bag, relay races, and an egg race.
