What I'm Thankful For

I would be a very bad blogger if I didn't write about the things for which I am thankful. I haven't had time before today because along with my boss, we prepared a full Thanksgiving meal for the students and it was A LOT of work. My kitchen is tiny (although not as small as Eileen's) so at times it was challenging to find surfaces to put everything on, and I had to cook everything in shifts. But it was all delicious, and for that I am thankful.

What I am really thankful for, however, is that I decided to go to the doctor's on Wednesday, specifically the dermatologist. I went for a really vain reason. Ever since I moved to Chile, I've been getting these white bumps on my face, and I wanted to know what to do about them. While I was there, I also asked the doctor about a mole that I've had for a little while that seemed a bit strange to me.

Turns out, I have to get it removed because it might be cancerous.

I'm also thankful that I have really good health insurance that covers the entire procedure except for a co-pay of around $10.000 pesos (approximately US $20.00).

And of course, I'm very thankful for all of the blessings in my life: my supportive family, my friends, my boyfriend, Charlie, going home for Christmas, my health and my happiness.

I know it's a bit late, but...Happy Thanksgiving!

I hope the mole thing turns out ok! Let me know... I have a lot of wisdom in that area if you should need it...

Oh, I'm glad you got into see the doctor! That's scary! And what did the doctor say about the white bumps? I remember having those too when I was in Chile! Perhaps I still do.
