Barnacle Betty?

The biopsy is in!

I don't have Paget's disease, nor is any other malignancy present.

What I do have, is an oozing sore which closely resembles Mount Vesuvius.

The cause, you may ask?

My answer: No one knows!

I'm a medical mystery!

Oh we have educated guesses....lovely suggestions like a possible arthropod reaction, (fancy phrase for "bug bite"), or avian shistosomes.

In the end, I'm guess I'm just growing things in all sorts of places that I never happened to grow when I was younger.

I feel as if the older I get, the more barnacles I grow.

Maybe I should change my name to Barnacle Betty?

Or maybe not....

Barnacle Betty sounds more like the cartoon progeny of Popeye the Sailor Man and Betty Boop, than it does a middle aged housewife afflicted by weird skin growths!

Still, it sounds funny!

And at this point, anything that makes me laugh is worth considering!
