Yesterday was Electrolysis day and the aim was to do the top lip and give it the final full clearance somewhere around an hours work maybe a fraction more. My appointment is always at a1pm on Tuesday and the Dr I get the injections from is always running rate. Normally it about 12:45 before we start the injections because she is busy. By the time she does them and I get into the car drive for 2 minutes to the Electrologists and park I have maybe a couple of minutes to wait for her and then we are away.
So yesterday we were doing the top lip...I arrive at 12 :15 injection appointment time and instead of having to wait the half an hour like usual she saw me immediately. The injections were really quite painful into the top lip but she did a great job and I was really numb. By about 20 Past 12 we were done which is really early for a 1pm Electrology appointment...off I went to the Electrologist and as luck would have it she was running late by 10 minutes so it was 50 minutes from injection until we could start and because the injections don't have adrenaline in them they do not last all that long, about an hour or so and then they start to drop off rapidly. By the time we sat down the lidocaine had peaked and was beginning the start wearing off. I managed 35 Minutes only with very limited anaesthetic so didn't get the clearance completed.
Next week the electrologist has booked me in 15 minutes after the injections are due(Rather than the time she normally books) because she knows if she can get working on the area for another solid hour she will clear it...I always new these appointments were going to be difficult to co-ordinate and this is the first one that has been screwed up by circumstances...Dr was very efficient and could not delay and to compound things the Electrologist was running 10 minutes late....Oh well these things happen.
I have a short 20 minute session this Friday (no injections for this one) to help clear up the remnants of what is left on my cheek. This is part of my determined attempt to get to matinenenace stage within the next month where about 30 minutes clears the entire face, talking maybe 3-4 hours max to get to that stage. I have the final session on my lip next Tuesday then nothing for a couple of weeks whilst I head off for my reunion
Speaking of which spent about 30 minutes running through some outfit choices for my little "Holiday" on the Gold Coast. I have a BBQ, water sports, Dinner, Shopping and flying to take care of. I usually have my own fashion guru with me but this time she is staying home .
It should be a blast...time for a new colour in my hair before I go and maybe even a style and cut...we will see...maybe even a makeover(EH! Laurie....as in Truck) although my wallet is still reeling after the last one.
I am continuing with the voice therapy and seem to have found my "voice" Pitching around 180 and easy to keep the chest resonance out...I find it so difficult to work out my pitch as Magic Stave tends not to pick up much unless it is the first part and last part of the word so not exactly giving an average pitch reading. Anyway will keep working on it and see how I go.
So that is all for now...Will keep working on my voice and my Electrology
