On Monday I met with my new doctor at Mt. Sinai hospital. He seemed friendly enough, made a couple of jokes and had us all smiling (my mom and my boyfriend came with me). He said I probably would not need any surgeries if I was finished growing.

I found that hard to believe. I’m sure I’ll have more surgeries within my adult life, there are a couple of tumors I have that cause me discomfort that I would like to have removed. Nobody likes being uncomfortable all the time, even if those tumors cause no other problems. I wanted to fix my fingers so I could wear rings, and my ankle so I didn’t smash it off of everything (it sticks out a lot, almost more then my ears!).

However I am afraid to come to this new doctor with my problems. According to his statistics I won’t need any surgeries, and I don’t want to appear vain or anything. But I will have to get those bumps that are uncomfortable removed!
